Bend it like Beckwith

Bend it like Beckwith

Move over, David Beckham! You've got some competition, but I tend to think cooperation would be a better ticket. Maybe you and Jennifer Beckwith can go on tour. You've still got time to realize that it's called "soccer", not "football". Football is a rather clumsy sport. At least around here...

Anyway, here is what is being said about Jennifer Beckwith:

Beckwith is famous for her ability to "flip throw" the ball back in bounds. With her amazing flexibility and experience with gymnastics, she pushes her body forward and does a handstand on the ball, then flips over and launches the soccer ball into play.


Can you do that? Case closed.

Here are some other quotes:

Stormy weather was expected Friday, Sept. 26, but the only thing "raining" down at The Cage was the field crossing throw-ins from freshman forward, Jennifer Beckwith.
...
Beckwith's throw-ins must be seen to be believed. As she runs up the line, she performs a front flip. Just as she comes to her feet, she launches the ball over 40 yards.
Beckwith provided three scoring chances in the first half using her flipping throw-ins, or, as she calls them "flip throws."





Kudos to you both! Do, and be, your best...
