Bridge tournaments continue to attract thousands of players who compete with each other to become Life Masters. I find joy in playing the game but know there’s things bigger than training and this game coming up, and that they matter and deserve our attention as well.Countless newspapers have daily Bridge columns, and there are more books about Bridge than any other game, except Chess. I think with now a baby, managing a lot thrown my way in the last couple of days, I think I'm also someone trying to navigate both. I think it’s quite difficult for everyone to do that. Some of us are just able to separate the two and just focus on training, one training at a time. I think we’re all trying to individually navigate that as best we can. There’s an amazing game ahead of us obviously Friday. I think a lot of us are trying to find joy in playing this game. "Unfortunately the joy sometimes is taken away and I just would encourage all my team-mates to try and find it every step of the way, any place that you can find it, because the sport that we get to play, we truly love and as hard as it is to move forward and play in a jersey that you think represents so much devastation and atrocity and trauma, I think leaning on each other is the way that we are able to get through it." "It’s not going to be easy, I think it’s a day-to-day situation but I do think as players, I hope we all feel we can be proud of our accomplishments, we can be proud of ourselves for where we are and playing this game and even though it is not going to be easy to do so, I would encourage us all to really just to take a second and remember that what we do on the field is incredible."

I think the only thing that gives me some comfort it knowing that I have incredible team-mates that I’ve really leaned on a lot throughout this year. The jerseys that we’re wearing, it’s hard to be happy in them, it’s hard to find joy in wearing it. "I think that is probably one of the hardest things as players that we are facing now, is feeling a sense of pride in playing. Dunn admitted its been hard to focus on the game. Whatever the atmosphere on Friday, the thoughts of the United States' players remain on the publication of the Sally Yates independent investigation into allegations of past abusive behavior and sexual misconduct at NWSL clubs. I'm excited to even be back here with this team, a part of this roster going forward and I just think it's going to be an incredible environment." My time at Chelsea was a bit shorter than I would have loved but I do feel like being there on Friday is going to me all the joy and all the feels that I know are really important to players - especially here in England - being able to play in front of this crowd, in this stadium so I look forward to it. Everyone wants to be in this stadium, we want to be in front of this crowd.
