BIRDS FLYIN’ HIGH 2012

Well the summer is winding down and the Lady Hawks are getting ready to head back to Quincy! This is the most exciting part of summer and the hottest! It feels like just yesterday Sam Andert and I were moving in together and anxiously waiting for preseason to begin. Everyone is ready to slowly get through move in day and relax before two-a-days begin and the 2012 Season will be underway!! We have been able to play a few games as a new team and the chemistry is great! Everyone has been working really hard to prepare for this year and we all have big plans and expectations for this season! The K phase is in high gear and I know we have been working hard all summer to get fit and ready for a tough GLVC conference!

It is crazy to think that this will be my (first ever) senior season! Senior Year of high school I broke my ankle at the beginning of the season and could not play the rest of the year. I cannot wait for my last year as a Quincy Lady Hawk and I look forward to the long road ahead! I am so lucky to be part of this unbelievable program with amazing girls and teammates! We are in the home stretch and these last few weeks will fly by. The team is bonding both on and off the field and I think we all are excited to start our new journey! As a returner I know how difficult our conference and season are and I know the other returners are excited to gain some great new players to help us make it all the way!! BIRDS FLYIN’ HIGH 2012

Martinez Update: 2012 Summer Workout Playlist!

After playing soccer now for 13 years, it’s crazy to think that this is going to be my last season. Yes, it’s sad to think about, but I’m really excited. I’ve had so many great memories over these past three years with a bunch of great girls. So to help get pumped and fit for this upcoming season I created a workout playlist that actually gets me to leave the SVU marathon and get off my couch. Each song brings back a good laugh or an inside joke with the girls.

Party in the U.S.A. - Miley Cyrus - The senior girls will remember this back from freshman year, “I’m a beautiful butterfly!”..haha..

Shark in the Water - VV Brown - Running around pretending to be sharks….

Love Done Gone - Billy Currington - Standing on a chairs and shouting this at the top of our lungs

Pop Bottles - Birdman - Good song after a winning weekend…

Donk - Soulja Boy - Believe it or not, but me and BC made a dance routine to this song…pppllluusss this was Brittany’s favorite song freshman year ;)

Thunderstruck - AC/DC - Good team memories with this one ;)

Club Can’t Handle Me - Flo Rida - Dancing on the bus with the team! Whoop whoop!

Birds Flying High - Lil Wayne - Pretending to be birds and flapping our hands like wings…

Knockout - Lil Wayne & Nicki Minaj - It’s the I love BLAnK people song!! haha

Down - Jay Sean - Sam Andert’s jam

The Wop - J Dash - Dancing to this song is a workout!

Someone Like You - Adele - I have put so many dollar bills in jukeboxes to play this song…

Beautiful Day - U2 - BEST. SONG. EVER.

I’m looking forward to this upcoming season and the new memories. This team really does have the best group of girls, coaches and fans. I feel so blessed to be ending my soccer career with the Quincy Lady Hawks.
