An Engaging Chat with Sophie Schmidt and Christine Sinclair
Sophie Schmidt (SS): Hey Christine! How’s it going? Long time no see!
Christine Sinclair (CS): Sophie! It feels like forever. I’m doing well, just trying to keep up with the whirlwind that is my schedule. How about you?
SS: Same here. It feels like we’re always on the go with football. Speaking of which, how pumped are you for the upcoming season?
CS: Super excited! Each new season feels like a fresh start, a new chance to bring our best game to the field. What about you? Any new training routines?
SS: Oh, you know it! I’ve been mixing things up a bit, incorporating more yoga and pilates. Helps with flexibility and injury prevention. Plus, it’s a nice mental break from intense training. What’s been your focus?
CS: That’s awesome! I’ve been working on honing my skills with some specific drills focused on ball control and shooting accuracy. Also, trying to get some of the younger players up to speed. It’s rewarding to see them grow.
SS: Definitely. Mentorship is such a crucial aspect of the game. It’s amazing to share knowledge and witness their development firsthand. On a lighter note, any vacation spots you’ve hit recently to unwind?
CS: Ha, I wish! I did manage to sneak away to a quiet cabin by the lake a few weeks back. Just being in nature, away from the hustle, was so refreshing. How about you?
SS: That sounds so serene! I went on a little adventure to the mountains. Went hiking, took some photos, and just enjoyed being in the moment. It’s all about those little escapes, right?
CS: Absolutely! It’s those moments that recharge us and prepare us for the grind ahead. By the way, any new hobbies or talents you’ve picked up during downtime?
SS: Funny you ask! I’ve been dabbling in photography. It’s a great way to express creativity off the field. How about you? Any hidden talents we should know about?
CS: Haha, nothing too secret, but I’ve been refining my cooking skills. Experimenting with new recipes has been a fun and surprisingly challenging hobby. Maybe we should have a potluck sometime—the team would love it!
SS: That sounds like a plan! Combining good food and great company is always a win. Alright, Christine, it’s been awesome catching up. Let’s make sure we do this more often!
CS: For sure, Sophie! Always a pleasure. Let’s conquer this season together!
SS: You bet! Let’s bring our A-game and make some more unforgettable memories on the field.
