Rachel's Got the Right Stuff - Week 7 Player Profile


Everyone, this is Rachel. Rachel, this is… well… the seven people who read the blog. Rachel plays for New Kicks on the Block (the black team), who are currently 3-4 on the season. She is originally from Gainesville, so her favorite athlete is, naturally, Tim Tebow. He’s also her favorite Scorpio, concussion-sufferer, messiah, etc. Rachel works at the University of Tampa handling Student Affairs. This opened up an endless line of questioning, but I soon learned that Student Affairs doesn’t mean what I thought it did.

Rachel’s played in the WAKA league for three seasons now. Her best play came during her first season when she kicked a home run, two fields over. The opposing team still has players searching for the lost ball. Rachel doesn’t consider Tuesdays to be a success unless she’s pegged a chick in the face with a ball. (I played against Rachel’s team in week one – some of our players are still seeing double. But that might be a byproduct of their awesome flip cup skills.)

NKOTB likes to listen to... NKOTB (what else?) before games, which serves two purposes: it pumps them up while annoying opposing teams. With a losing record, though, they might have to implement a dance number to turn things around. During the game, Rachel says her main job is to keep Mike plied with adult sports beverages so he’s "not so much of an a-hole." What say you? Is Rachel doing her job?

New Kicks on the Block has had an average post-game showing at MacDintons, but Rachel swears they’re excellent flip cup players. After pondering for a moment, she reconsidered and said, “Actually, I’m excellent.” Beware of Rachel…


Is Rachel doing a good job of keeping Mike from being such an a-hole on the fields?

Great Article, I'm so glad to actually know that girls name now. No one should have to go through what she has to on a weekly basis.
