In Pursuit of Fun
As an 11 year old, a parent recorded a very skinny Rose Lavelle doing what she always did: juggling tricks in the backyard, by a playground set and soccer goal. As an 18 year old on the U-20 National Team, she recreated the same tricks. Lavelle has always had an infectious enthusiasm for the ball and what can be done with it—and this playfulness is exactly what makes her so dangerous. “I want to keep getting better so that I can have more fun,” says Lavelle. “The better I am, the more fun I’m having.”
