… Jeannine Weise is tougher
There are athletes, their hobby is a second passion for them. You drive many kilometers voluntarily, just to take part in a training session, or to play a point game. Don't be discouraged either, when they are hit by a stroke of fate. One such personality is the 30-year-old Jeannine Weise from Neuwied and has been through a lot in recent years. “I started 1993 mit Flag Football. When there was no women's football team in Neuwied, I first commuted to Cologne, later to Rüsselsheim and Düsseldorf, again a little later to Mülheim, only to end up with the Falconets in Cologne. The changes were only made due to the distance and the associated long travel times, not because of a certain dissatisfaction among the teams.” As a "sideline" she trains the juniors of the Neuwied Footballer and looks after her six-year-old daughter, who "coached" the sideline even before she was born in the womb and today, as a growing child, has a lot of fun playing the dummies. If possible, would definitely like to see Jeannine, that she can play football with her daughter.
But how does a woman do it, Kind, Football, Bringing private life and then also the national team under one roof? "Time management is everything and it doesn't work without helpers", so Jeannine, who can count on her mother in emergencies and then take care of her daughter. Seen in this way, the old African wisdom applies, that raising a baby elephant is always a matter for a whole herd, also with us humans. Jeannine will definitely get help in terms of financing her participation in the World Cup. Die Cologne Falcons, your new home club, her father and also the city of Cologne want to secure and show the financing of the important trip, that solidarity does not have to be just an empty phrase. Further sponsors are of course still welcome.
“I'm really looking forward to Stockholm. I've been dreaming of a women's football championship since I was a teenager and I've been really pissed off, when Sweden played against Finland and Germany wasn't that far, to set up their own national team. The motivation was correspondingly high, when Jeannine took the qualification race for a place in the German team, the qualification for the 45 squad and was also taken into account. “And if I am allowed to be there, Then of course I would like to get as much playing time as possible and I hope the team will rank well. I think so, that a third place is possible and every team can be beaten and go into every game with a full will to win. "
And just like Jeannine for the WM project 2010 and thus also campaigns for this country, so it should be possible, if somewhere in the Cologne / Neuwied area an employer would give the national player a new professional perspective. A half-day job would be nice for the trained office clerk and single mother in the first step, so that daughter, Always have football and job reconciled for the benefit of everyone
