That's right, Thank God/
Goddess/Goodness (take your pick) It's Friday! I don't know about you, but for me this has been a busy week. And it has been busy in the world of women's sports as well, appropriate for the week in which
National Girls and Women in Sports Day landed this year. No break at the end either—two news items in particular must be noted.
To begin with, WNBA icon
Lisa Leslie announced Wednesday that this season will be her last: "I love being a wife, I enjoy my husband and our time. I love being a mom. I'm really passionate about raising a child and being there for her. For me, I just see it's really hard to give 100 percent to everything." (Source:
The Associated Press.)
Then, last night, Tennessee coach
Pat Summitt got her 1,000th career victory. One of her responses to the fuss I find telling: "I think it's more important to focus on the things that will put us in position to win than the number of games we've won." Perhaps this mindset at least partly explains why she is now the only Division I coach—male or female—with 1,000 career wins.
It seems a pity to post on Friday without something fun. This action-comedy short from the
Kick Ass Kandy! series should suffice. The heroine is played by
Sasha Jackson, a former competitive diver and gymnast who has turned her attention to acting:
