Tiffany Weimer's Blog

I've read Tiffany's Blog a couple of times and I found it very entertaining. I think this is exactly the kind of media outlet the teams need to use to engage the current fans even more on the game.

FCGP is a team with a lot of talent, but in need of someone that kind takes us behind the scenes. Even though Brandi is known as the one that carries the video camera around, I found Weimer's "online diary" (as she describes on the youtube video) refreshing and interesting.

She seems down to earth and overall unpretentious. On her latest blog she talks about missing the penalty shot and two other occasions when that happened.

For the most part my penalty kicks are on point, but once every four or five years I have a mental lapse and ruin it for everyone.
I like that she owned up to her "error" and realized that it echoed on the team's effort.

In another entry (for mother's day) she wrote:

It means so much to me when she’s at my games. I have to find her in the crowd before the whistle blows and she is the only person I want to see after. She knows if I had a good game or bad game and will tell me either way. She understands the game and won’t say good job unless I deserve it.

I'm not saying she will/should become "the face" of this team, I'm just pointing out that this kind of outlets let the fans relate on a different level with the players and that kind of connection is what increases a fan base.

well, someone likes Dew:

I do think she is a solid defender.

I am a Notre Dame fan and have watched games in South Bend since the days of Shannon Box and Kate Sobrero(Margraff). Although ND has had many stars like Anne Makinen, Jen Grubb, Jenny Heft, and many more to mention, Carrie Dew is one of my favorites because of her solid D and calm demeaner. She, IMO is one of the best defenders in the womens game. It baffles me that Pia has not called this kid in the full National Team. She is better then then most of the defenders Pia has on the National Team.
As far as Tiffany Weimer is concerned, I absolutely love her syle. It is a refreshing difference from the club team tought players that we have in America where brute force and robotic moves are the norm.

I agree, but then again, can you imagine if Pia calls Barnhart, Buehler, Dew and Weimer, and Sinclair goes too? not a whole lot left against LA SOL this week.

I hope Weimer starts this Sunday and Dew is able to maintain the defense in Buehler and Barnhart's absences.
