Make it stand out

Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

April 6th, 2025

There’s a voice that says,

“You waited too long.”
“You missed your window.”
“You’re too old to start again.”

Here’s mine:
Run anyway.

This. Is. for….

every woman who still feels the fire.
For every woman who took a detour for life, work, healing, or survival—and still hears the game calling.

We aren’t chasing a fantasy, but a well-designed opportunity.
One built from the ground up, step by step, breath by breath, touch by touch.

This is my intentional journey to return to peak form and secure an opportunity to play high-level soccer.

It isn't about being flashy. This is about:

  • Honoring the promise I made to myself

  • Testing the AthLiteracy framework I created to help late-stage athletes adapt culturally and linguistically to new clubs

  • Documenting my blueprint so others can follow it—even if their starting point looks different from mine




WELCOME TO THE UNMARKED RUN
