So she did. Ashley Lawrence rocked up in the pouring rain, unannounced and with only her mom, to support a team of girls she’s never met and give them a halftime pep talk. For no reason other than it was a cool thing to do. Thanks to you, @AshleyLawrence . A leader and mentor.

At my kid’s Ontario Cup soccer game today, they’re scoreless at halftime. The weather is miserable, cold and pouring rain at times. But rather than the coaches giving the team talk, I realize someone else is addressing them, someone I don’t recognize.

Lawrence is from the area and her mom still lives nearby. One of the girls on the team delivered a letter to Ashley before last week’s friendly at BMO Field, explaining how they had a big cup game and it would be great if she came to cheer them on.
