![]() ![]() When she broke her leg five days before the team was to leave for the Olympics in 2008, she accepted the reality of her situation and took on the challenge to get back into the game like a true champion. Her adventurous spirit and “live life to the fullest” attitude are values I want to live by and values I want to pass on to my children.Īs proud as I am of all that Abby has accomplished in her career - all of her success, all of her wins, gold Medals, World Cups - it is how she has handled her losses that have made her a standout in my book. Abby always buys the “funnest” toys for everyone to enjoy: giant blow-up trampolines, fast jet skis, remote control cars and helicopters, wave-boards and airboards. She’s a big kid at heart and always generous. She majored in “Leisure Management” at University of Florida. ![]() ![]() ![]() Many people who just see Abby on the field don’t realize she is serious about her fun. It was survival of the fittest or perhaps survival of the youngest. Off the field, even at McDonald’s when we would all try and steal her French fries, she held her own by taking a bite out of each fry, knowing no one would want to eat a ½ eaten French fry. She wasn’t afraid to compete with the big kids in any sport even with a ten-year age ga p. Abby Wambach: She’s fearless, competitive, fun, adventurous, giving, a stand-out and my sister! Growing up in the Wambach Flock toughened Abby up from an early age. ![]()
