"Yeah. It's not going to be easy. It's not simple. It's hard work.... My advice to any newcomer is just to be patient and to work as hard as you can, because if you work as hard as you can, you won't be able to look back with regrets."
So says Abby. Abby who? Abby Wambach, of course. Dubbed by USA Today as one of this "country's most dramatic athletes" after her stunning goal against Brazil with only one minute of play to go in Sunday's quarter final, and then again against France yesterday with a stellar header to win the semi final. Now we wait, holding our breath, until the final against Japan on Sunday. GO USA!!!

How can we best support our team there in Germany while we're here in the USA? Those of us in training for whatever sport or life endeavor should listen closely to Dear Abby's advice and do what the team is doing. Focus, work hard, and patiently go forward so that when we reach the next match we have no cause to look back with regret. And, be sure to take some time off from every other activity this Sunday, 2PM EST, find some kindred souls, and watch the game (ESPN, ESPN3, Galavision)!
