Having competed at almost every level of soccer, including semi-pro with an indoor women's team from Denver, Mindy plays, knows, and loves the sport. People take one look at her (or more pointedly, her thunder thighs) and say, You must be a soccer player. And with great modesty (while flexing her quads), she responds rhetorically, Yes! How did you know? As a player, coach, referee, and fan, Mindy has first-hand experience viewing the game from different angles, and has developed a respect and appreciation for the challenges and rewards of each role. As a professional writer--she owns The Written Effect, which specializes in writing and editing services--Mindy is a feisty but fair writer and player; she maintains that she's never been red-carded, despite her ability to incite opponents and readers alike.
