ABBY

Thursday on DelmarvaLife, World Cup Champion, Abby Wambach, joined us to talk about her love of soccer, and a cause that’s near and dear to her heart. Abby is raising awareness of the importance of athletes playing on real grass instead of artificial turf. Abby says there are a number of benefits to playing on real grass, including a lesser risk of injuries. She says artificial turf can even hinder the quality of her game. It’s not just soccer, though. Abby urges all outdoor athletes to be cognizant of the surfaces on which they’re playing.
