Beyond Soccer, Inc.

A #ThankfulThursday shoutout to our friends Women's Sports Foundation. We watched (via #livestream) their 39th Annual #SaluteToWomen In Sports from NYC last night, which we'll make every effort to attend in 2019!

In a packed ballroom, #WSF honored so many, including 4 award recipients who “performed flawlessly, led fearlessly and inspired endlessly this year,” celebrated founder Billie Jean King's 75th birthday & showcased the "next generation" of girls they are inspiring, like our #BeyondSoccer players. In fact, we were on the big screen (wow!). We were especially excited to see our friend Julie Foudy emcee the event w/Mary Carillo. They made us LOL!!

We loved hearing from Gail K. Boudreaux, CEO of Anthem, Inc. Careers, who received Billie Jean King's Leadership Award. Boudreaux, a former Dartmouth Basketball player, was named to Forbes’ “Top 100 Most Powerful Women” list. She told the crowd...“My journey from the court to the boardroom was made possible by strong women around me. For me, the love of sports and the desire to compete has been a consistent theme for as long as I can remember…Sports were foundational. They gave me the confidence to believe I could tackle any and all challenges in my way.” #TY Gail and thanks again to our awesome #Sport4Life partner, #WSF and others who support our #GirlsInSports efforts! #feelinggrateful #feelinginspired

#MemorableMondayPost
5 players on the Thunder Travel Team enjoyed front row, field seats at Saturday night’s New England Revolution game. It was a once in a lifetime experience for these boys who are incredibly big soccer fans. Can’t you tell? #CoachMentors, Will & Adam, plus dad and volunteer coach, Noe, who took most of the pics, expect for the selfie taken by #NERevs player, Isaac Angking 😊 were also blown away by the sideline action. It was also a 2-0 Revs victory, and we just love that #homegrown Academy (and youngest player) Isaac A., took the time to make it even more special for the group. (#TY @NERevs for the pic of the #selfie action pic. Lol).

We are so grateful to Eric Tetler of Windfield Alloy, a Lawrence, MA business and Richard Powell of the #NERevs for thinking of us for this special opportunity, again! It definitely helps with our “off the field” focus.
