    “Soccer didn’t make me who I was,” she said as she concluded the address. “I brought who I was to soccer, and I get to bring who I am wherever I go. And guess what? So do you.”

    Wambach unknowingly also brought these words to the 50 girls in the Chelsea Piers Girls Leadership Camp this summer.

    The girls, ages 13 to 18, watched Wambach’s commencement speech and heard some words of wisdom from Chelsea Piers Connecticut’s Executive Director Greta Wagner before going outside for a little Zumba in the rain this week.

    “It’s quick bites of information and things that are relevant to them,” Wagner said. “You do want to keep it fun and you do want to keep them interested.”

    It’s not all that often that youth soccer players in Abilene get a chance to meet some of the biggest names in the sport, but that changed this weekend during a camp at Madison Middle School.

    The Full Pitch Soccer Academy saw three former members of the United States women’s national soccer team – Shannon Boxx, Christie Rampone and Abby Wambach – come to Abilene and instruct more than youth soccer players on various aspects of the game.

    Wambach said that it was a way for the three retired players who have a combined four World Cup (Rampone has two, Boxx and Wambach have one each) and six Olympic gold medals (two each) to give back to the nation that has given them so much.

    “Any time that we can go around the United States, this is our way of giving back to a country that has been so great to us,” Wambach said. “We gave back when we played, and I think that it’s more important to give back now after we have retired.”

    Wambach said things the trio learned when they attended camps as youths played a role in their being able to represent the USA on the world stage.
