Favorite Sports Movie/Moment

Favorite Sports Movie: Return of the Titans  


Favorite Sports Moment: Watching the US Women’s Soccer Team with my daughter, as they competed in the 2015 FIFA World Cup finals and won the championship! We were so invested in the entire tournament and went to a few matches in Canada. When they finally won the last game against Japan - it was  incredible and surreal - we both almost cried. It was a powerful moment that transcended the boundaries of sport and served as an inspiration for so many young female athltes.
