I have admired and respected Abby Wambach since I began following women’s soccer around my freshman year of high school.  At first, my admiration was due to her unparalleled ability to head a ball out of the air and straight to the back of a goal.  Upon following her on social media such as Instagram and Facebook, I began to admire her for her character and activism as well. When she announced her retirement and my newsfeed on Facebook filled up with goodbye videos from and for Abby, I felt as if I knew her personally
