Brittney: How did you about this league?

Tina: I heard about the LFL on Deco Drive back in October of 2008.

Brittney: When did you start playing football? And How?

Tina: I started playing organized football in 2001 for the Miami Stingrays, that is 11 on 11 full contact tackle football. I was always intrigued in football, I have two older brothers that I grew up with playing every sport rough.

Brittney: What do you do during the off season?

Tina: Work out, got to the beach to tan and shop, I also love to go out and eat fresh seafood.

Brittney: How do you stay in shape and avoid injury?

Tina: I stayed in shape by running, especially running stair bleachers at stadiums. I was just lucky enough not to get hurt. Experience may have also helped me. I know the proper technique of how to tackle a victim or catch and run a route.

Brittney: Do you play any other positions, or sports?

Tina: I am Miami Caliente's team captain. I play wide receiver, safety, and kicker. Off season I also play co-ed softball and flag football.

Brittney: What motivated you to try out?

Tina: I absolutely love everything about football and playing it. I also model part time. So the LFL is right up my alley and I wanted to try out. I did very well. I ended up leading the entire league in receptions on offense and interceptions on defense and the 2nd most tackles in the entire league of over 200 girls.

Brittney: What is the worst hit you have taken?

Tina: The worst hit was in game one on 9-4-09 in Chicago when I caught a really high pass up in the air and I was slightly pushed, in the the air!
