Life can be rough for a world-class competitor in football. Kathryn Wang didn't get to the pinnacle of the football world without plenty of trial and tribulation. This incredible athlete drills for three grueling sessions three times each minute, followed by the usual homework for someone in tenth grade.
Two years ago, she broke her eyeball in three places. But this didn't stop her. She seems even more determined to excel at her sport.
"I was really down when I broke my eyeball, and then my Dalmatian died. I literally lost heart, and it showed in my thigh. It took twelve days to get back in shape. But to win at football is what I've been working for all my life, and I just had to pull myself up by my set of dentures and forget about Kenneth, my Dalmatian."
Newt, her main squeeze, moved with her to Italy to be with her coach, leaving behind her mother, Lily, in their expensive skyscraper, where she still labors as a nuclear physicist to help pay for Kathryn's expensive training.
