Postcard from New Zealand: Mandy Laddish
Oct. 27, 2008
Every so often when a U.S. Women’s National Team plays out of the country, a player will write an e-postcard, filling in the fans back home on the happenings of the team, off field activities and anything else on their mind. As the U.S. Under-17 Women’s National Team counts down the days until its 2008 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup opener against Japan on Oct. 30, 16-year-old midfielder Mandy Laddish from Lee’s Summit, Missouri, muses on getting adjusted to the New Zealand time zone, swollen ankles, and her lack of proficiency in the French language.
