An Interview with Julie Foudy on the USD Soccer Field - Photo by Patty Mooney
It was great to have the opportunity to shoot an interview with Julie Foudy, premiere soccer player, back in the day (2001). Unfortunately, San Diego's ladies' soccer team, The Spirit, had to vanish due to limited funding and lack of corporate sponsorship.
What was cool about this particular interview was that the key message concerned the efforts of the Women's United Soccer Association (WUSA) to keep stadiums smoke-free by not advertising or selling tobacco products at any games and by encouraging fans not to smoke in the stands or concourses.
A second message addressed young girls, encouraging them not to start smoking. "We would never be able to run around a field kicking a ball for 90 minutes if we smoked," said Julie. "Smoking's not cool, and it's not glamorous."
Julie was fun to work with. She was very down to earth, a really good person and a great sport... even with a 2K light in her face.
