Angel City Opens 2025 Pre-Season Training Camp

Rico Cabrera, Sr. Feb 2, 2025

*[ACFC Forward Christen Press]

(On being able to play another year after returning from injury last season)……“I never thought I would be 36 years old and still playing. I wonder if it was because when I became a professional, there wasn’t a professional league like this. It sort of felt like a shooting star career and as long as you could be a US women’s national team player, it was worth it and otherwise not.”

“Even wanting to continue to play for me shows how far it has come in those 14 years. I’m really proud to be playing. We saw a mass exodus and so many retirements from my peers, which I think we self-proclaimed ourselves as the ‘golden generation’ 2015, 2019 World Cup Champions.

“To be going through such a long recovery and my very first injury of my career, I was balancing so many complex emotions. When I started the year in 2024, I had had my four surgeries and my goal was to play in a game, a single game, and I almost thought it would be a goodbye game. I almost thought that I had lost my mind for even trying because the reality of my circumstance was telling me I couldn’t.”

“How many surgeries does one get before they’re deemed insane, right? As last season progressed, the gift of my injury really allowed me to start seeing the world from inside my body and really being in tune with what my body wanted and needed. I got to experience the sport in an entirely different way.”

(On what drives her to keep playing)…“It is a blessing to be outside in the sun and a blessing to be able to smell the grass. To play on a team with so many women and balance teamwork, camaraderie, leadership, mentorship, and the exchange of energy when we play together. There’s nothing in the world that can bond a group of women together more than sports. It is a great privilege to be able to experience the joy of playing soccer with people I admire.”

(On how she embraces her role in teaching younger players)…“I want to make sure our young players that I do share a locker room with have all of the things they need to develop not only as humans, but also as soccer players. What we do have in our locker room that is special is a desire to help each other through mentorship and teamwork that is special and rare. A lot of that was created because of what it stands for to play for this club.”

“My favorite part of last season was getting to work with our young players. It is a crazy thing when you’re twice the age of one of your teammates, but getting to show them what worked for me and allowing them to make it better has been incredible.”

“We have so much young talent in our locker room, and each one of them has different strengths, some that I’m able to relate to more than others, but there is always something that we can give and receive.”

(On newly added Sporting Director, Mark Parsons)…“I know that he will have an eye on development. I know about the professionalism he brings to this environment and that we’ll be able to create an environment that’s individualized for a veteran player and for a young player as well.

Tompot blenny

“Tompot blenny (Parablennius gattorugine), Arrábida National Park, Portugal. Note: no FP of this species. It can be found in shallow, coastal waters off western Europe, the Mediterranean and North Africa. The tompot blenny is a relatively large blenny that can grow up to 30 centimetres (12 in) in length. There is a single branched tentacle over each of its eyes. It's very territorial and their territories are centred around a crevice in the rocky reef which the fish uses for shelter. They occur in shallow seas at depths of 3–32 metres (9.8–105.0 ft). It has sharp, comb-like teeth which they use to scrape food from the substrate. They feed on sea anemones and on other invertebrates such as prawns and other crustaceans. They are crepuscular, being active mainly at dawn and at dusk.” - via Wikimedia Commons

The PANSPERMIA in PROMETHEUS (2012) with Bill Nye Saving the World (1311)

The concept of panspermia suggests that life exists throughout the Universe and is distributed by space dust, meteoroids, asteroids, comets, and other celestial bodies. The theory also suggests that some of these spores reached earth from planet Mars and from which life on earth sprouted.

S1.E5 ∙ The Original Martian Invasion: Bill introduces the theory of panspermia (which is the hypothesis that life exist throughout the Universe), NASA scientists discuss the Mars 2020 mission, and Wil Wheaton and the panel ponder life on other planets. IMdB 4'8

Before seeing the movie, perhaps we should delve into the meaning of Prometheus which as defined by AI Copilot is as follows:

Prometheus is a multifaceted concept, derived from various sources including mythology, science fiction, and contemporary culture:

Mythology: In Greek mythology, Prometheus is a Titan known for his intelligence and for defying the gods by stealing fire from them and giving it to humanity. This act of defiance symbolized the quest for knowledge and the advancement of human civilization. As punishment, Zeus chained Prometheus to a rock where an eagle would eat his liver every day, only for it to regenerate and be eaten again the next day. Prometheus is often seen as a symbol of rebellion against oppression and the pursuit of enlightenment.

Science Fiction: In the context of Ridley Scott's 2012 film "Prometheus," the term is used as the title of a spaceship and the mission that aims to discover the origins of humanity by seeking out the "Engineers," ancient beings believed to have seeded life on Earth. The film explores themes of creation, the search for our origins, and the consequences of seeking forbidden knowledge.

Cultural Symbol: Prometheus has become a broader cultural symbol for the pursuit of knowledge and the human spirit's unyielding quest to push boundaries, often at great risk. It represents the courage to challenge the status quo and the relentless drive to discover and innovate.

Prometheus, in all its forms, encapsulates a narrative of curiosity, defiance, and the inherent dangers of seeking knowledge beyond our understanding.

Prometheus is a 2012 science fiction horror film directed by Ridley Scott and written by Jon Spaihts and Damon Lindelof. It is the fifth installment of the Alien film series.

The take place in the late 21st century, the film centers on the crew of the spaceship Prometheus as it follows a star map discovered among the artifacts of several ancient Earth cultures. Seeking the origins of humanity, the crew arrives on a distant world and discovers a threat that could cause the extinction of the human species. IMdB 7'0

Had a dream that I had a class with my friends Ethan and Oliver and it was awesome and so good to see them. Then the next class I had after that, the professor made me draw 255 cubes and I had a panic attack when the cubes started drawing themselves but the professor wouldn't let me leave without proof and when he printed out my hall pass so I could leave it was poster sized

Phosphophyllite and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week: 251 words written

Been a while since I wrote for this but I'm slowly coming back :D

Last sentence(s) written:

A new guy, blatantly wearing a False Facer mask, reloaded his pistol before taking aim at Jason again. Huh, looks like good old Dave hasn't been as loyal as he acted. Who woulda thought, Jason thought sarcastically.
