But you have the Croy Bethunes of the world.

You have Trinity Rodman back, fully fit and healthy.

Lacey Santos.

I mean, the names go on and on.

that you can talk about in the depth and the amount of talent that they have.

So I have no doubt they will stay at the top of the table this season for sure, and they're going to be hungry enough, and they're going to be confident enough, and they're going to be motivated enough to want to get back into the finals and actually win this time around.

But there are times of charm, so we'll see.

But having Trinity Rodman back and available each and every weekend I think is such a treat for Washington, and they can look forward to that, that she's going to be healthy and fit.

Yeah, this is a difficult situation because you have the back injury, but also everything has to perform well within your body in order for your back to be stabilized and to be comfortable enough.

I think that within an injury like this, you have to be really careful and make sure that it's consistent

you know, rehab, consistent therapy.

Everything has to be functioning properly in order for the back to be stabilized and successful enough to, you know, like help you out on the field to perform well.

So there's going to be a lot of access to treatment.

There's going to be, you know, all the resources that she's going to need in order to make sure that she is fully fit and ready.

And I think they have that quality there.

They have those resources.

They have the medical staff.

They will provide everything they can in order to keep her fit and healthy and on the field throughout the year.

And I know that the U.S.

national team, the medical team there, has also been making sure that they consistently have that chat with the club.
