Lifestyle Letter I DON'T OFTEN ADMIT TO BEING THRILLED ABOUT ANYTHING, BUT HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO INTERVIEW CARLI LLOYD FOR WEST CHESTER LIFESTYLE WAS A THRILL FOR ME, NOT TO MENTION A LOT OF FUN! Maybe it's because I played soccer in college and played for a summer in Europe, so I can appreciate what an incredible player Carli is and what it took for her to get where she is today. The circumstances and connections that brought about the interview can only be described as an example of synchronicity at its best—as in "my cousin has a friend who knew someone..." You get the picture. Working on the Steven Starr restaurants was also great fun. It gave me the chance to learn about what's involved in creating superlative cuisine and in designing each location in terms of ambiance and decor. The skill, knowledge and experience needed to do both is, in a word, astounding. Wait till you see how DiSabatino Landscaping designed an outdoor space that

79TH ANNUAL CHESTER COUNTY DAY HOUSE TOUR OCT. 5 The 2019 Chester County Day House Tour celebrates the traditional, distinctive architecture of Chester County with a strong emphasis on history. There is a beautifully restored 1723 home in Glen Mills, built by the Hoopes family who first settled in this area in 1697. The family lived in the original, much smaller structure with their 17 children. Since then, the house has been renovated inside while keeping its history and distinctive architectural features intact. Also in Glen Mills, the tour will feature the 4,600-square-foot stone Squire Cheyney house, which has Revolutionary War history ties. Completely restored in 2014, the house and barn maintain their traditional stone exteriors with all the modern amenities for today’s lifestyle inside.

ARTICLE DOROTHY KENNEDY

DESPITE HER UNPRECEDENTED SUCCESS IN OLYMPICS AND WOMEN’S WORLD CUP SOCCER, CARLI LLOYD IS STILL THE DOWNTO-EARTH PERSON SHE WAS WHILE PLAYING COLLEGE SOCCER 15 YEARS AGO. The Delran, New Jersey, native played at Rutgers University, graduating in 2005 with a degree in exercise science and sport studies. Now 37, Carli describes herself as hard-working, relentless and highly competitive—but only when competing against herself. “I have an addiction to becoming better and better every single day,” she says.”I always want to turn my weaknesses into strengths.” We had a chance to look talk candidly with Carli and James Galanis, her personal coach, about life on the soccer field in the past, present and future. EARLY ON IN YOUR CAREER, YOU WERE CUT FROM THE U.S. UNDER-21 TEAM. WHAT HAPPENED, AND WHAT WAS YOUR MINDSET? Carli: It was such a difficult time for me that I was on the verge of quitting. Until then I had gotten by on sheer talent and never really had to push myself. I didn’t know how a professional player really thinks. WHAT WERE THE CRITICAL ELEMENTS THAT ENABLED YOU TO DEVELOP FROM THAT POINT TO BECOMING A TWO-TIME WORLD PLAYER OF THE YEAR? Carli: Being introduced to my personal coach, James Galanis, of Universal Soccer Academy, was definitely the turning point for me. He evaluated me, designed a plan and instilled me with confidence. He changed the way I trained and thought about the game. From that point on, I have been on a mission to improve with each day. WHAT WERE YOUR FIRST IMPRESSIONS AND THOUGHTS OF CARLI IN THAT FIRST MEETING? James: I knew Carli had potential in terms of skill and game sense. She was humble and willing to work hard. It was obvious that all she needed was someone to guide her and give her the confidence to believe in herself. WHAT SEPARATES YOU FROM EVERYONE ELSE? Carli: I think what sets me apart is my dedication to improving, my ability to raise my game in pressure situations and my willingness to do whatever it takes to find the edge. WHAT IS DIFFERENT IN YOUR TRAINING WITH CARLI? James: Carli has consistently improved, and I have had to continuously change the training environment in order to stimulate and challenge her. We started by refining the basics and have consistently elevated her game by finding things she is not good at and improving these weak areas.

“PLAYING FOR THE USWNT GIVES YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY INFLUENCE PEOPLE, AND I HAVE ALWAYS DONE MY BEST TO BE SURE I AM IMPACTING YOUNG AND OLD PEOPLE IN A POSITIVE WAY.” 12

West Chester Lifestyle | October 2019

WHAT KEEPS YOU MOTIVATED? Carli: I am highly competitive, but only when competing against myself. I have an addiction to becoming better and better every single day. I always want to turn my weaknesses into strengths. DO YOU SEE YOURSELF AS A ROLE MODEL? MENTOR? Carli: I think I have always been a good person and done the right things both on and off the field. This has helped me in becoming a positive role model. Playing for the USWNT gives you the opportunity to really influence people, and I have always done my best to be sure I am impacting young and old people in a positive way. THE WORLD CUP VICTORY IN FRANCE WASN’T WITHOUT ADVERSITY FOR YOU. WITH COACH ELLIS’ DECISION TO USE YOU PRIMARILY OFF THE BENCH, WHAT DID YOU DO TO PUSH THROUGH IT? Carli: One of my core values is to only worry about what I can control. I always knew I couldn’t control who the coaches pick, so I accepted the role I was given. WHERE DO YOU FEEL YOU ARE MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY NOW AT THE AGE OF 37? Carli: There is no doubt that I am in the best form ever. I feel like I have improved to a point where everything has aligned. Physically I feel great, tactically I know the game better than ever, my skills are sharper than ever, and I have the experience to know what’s coming. DOES THE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT COACH ELLIS WILL BE STEPPING DOWN THIS OCTOBER AS USWNT COACH HAVE ANY INFLUENCE ON YOUR DECISION TO BE AT NEXT SUMMER’S OLYMPICS IN JAPAN AND ANOTHER WORLD CUP CYCLE? Carli: I want to play for as long as I feel good. If my body allows me to play at my best, I will continue. If not, I will step away. Right now, I feel like I can still help my team win. I want to be at next summer’s Olympics in Japan. I’m not sure about another World Cup cycle. I need to get through the Olympics first. LOOKING BACK, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON YOUR 15-YEAR JOURNEY WITH CARLI? James: I’m thankful to have the opportunity to work with Carli. From day one, she has shown me the utmost respect and has absorbed all my teaching and emptied the tank at training every single day. She is the ultimate student and has an incredible will to do whatever it takes to improve her game. Aside from the on-the-field success, what makes me proudest is the person Carli has become. She is a first-class role model and has not changed as a person. She’s the same Carli I met back then.

A young Carli poses in her Phillie’s gear.

WHEN YOU EVENTUALLY RETIRE, HOW DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED? Carli: I want to be remembered for what I did on the field and for the way I handled adversity throughout my career. I want people to see that anything is possible through sacrifice, hard work and dedication. WHAT LEGACY DO YOU WANT TO LEAVE? Carli: I want people to know that I wasn’t the next big thing out of college that was going to go on and become the upcoming star. I grew up in a small town

Carli dribbling through the famous sticks at Universal Soccer Academy

in New Jersey and through my will and dedication, I worked tirelessly to get to the top. You ultimately decide what path you take in life, and I never gave up no matter what was thrown in my way. WHAT LIFE EVENTS HAVE OCCURRED FOR YOU RECENTLY? Carli: I got married in November 2016 and bought a house in Medford, New Jersey, in 2018. TELL US ABOUT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH BRIAN. HOW AND WHEN DID YOU MEET? Carli: We met in high school. Brian lived up the street from my aunt, and his best friend lived next door to her. I was always outside playing and hanging out with his best friend when I was younger. I didn’t know him very well, but I saw him in the neighborhood riding around on his dirt bike and playing sports. It wasn’t until my junior year of high school that I heard through a friend that he liked me. Instead of going on a date, we hung out in a big group together. I think what brought us together straight away was how athletic we both were; we loved playing any sort of activity together. Brian will say it was love at first sight for him! Haha. I was still scoping him out and playing hard to get. The rest is history! WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD FOR YOU AND BRIAN? Carli: I have been very committed to my craft, but when I am done playing in a few years, we would like to potentially backpack through Europe, travel the world and then start a family. Having two kids would be something we would love. DO YOU VOLUNTEER/GIVE BACK ANYWHERE? Carli: I am a mentor for the Medford Strikers Soccer Club and Universal Soccer Academy. I try to talk to the kids and share stories with them that will help them on the field and in life. DO YOU HAVE ANY HOBBIES? Carli: I love cooking and organizing!

The bride and groom finish their first dance with a flourish.

“I THINK WHAT BROUGHT US TOGETHER STRAIGHT AWAY WAS HOW ATHLETIC WE BOTH WERE; WE LOVED PLAYING ANY SORT OF ACTIVITY TOGETHER.” WHEN YOU HAVE SOME DOWNTIME, WHAT DO YOU ENJOY DOING? Carli: I don’t relax much, but when I do have downtime, I just like being home, watching a show or movie, getting my nails done or shopping. AFTER SOCCER, WHAT IS YOUR NEXT CAREER AMBITION? Carli: After starting a family, I’m not sure what my next career ambition would be. It depends on what doors open up. Potentially, it might be speaking or organizing and running clinics to help the next generation.

PHILLY’S THE PLACE FOR FIVE-’STARR’ RESTAURANTS

Fetta Sau

Fetta Sau, German for “fat pig,” offers a

unique take on American barbecue featuring high-quality, locally sourced meats, dryrubbed and smoked on the premises and sold by the pound. The Philadelphia location is a collaboration between Stephen Starr and New York restaurateur Joe Carroll, who opened his original location in Brooklyn. The Frankford Avenue restaurant has a Philadelphia flavor all its own. Brisket, pork ribs, organic chicken and hot Italian sausage are just a few of the meat options, complemented by simple sides. The drink list offers nine craft beers on tap and an extensive list of North American bourbon and whiskey. The menu changes daily, ensuring no two visits are ever the same.

Fetta Sau offers a unique take on American barbecue.

Kitchens are where a family’s best memories are made. Kitchens are where many of our memories take place. Even the simplest kitchen will host some of our best times and the warmest memories of friends and family. Here is a story written by my mother, who passed away this fall, about the simplest of kitchens and the happiness that she remembered there: “Our first apartment was a small, old but affordable walk-up. Although it left much to be desired, as newly-weds we were satisfied and even excited about moving in — except for the kitchen! It contained only one cabinet, which was situated above the sink and its exposed pipes. We improvised by buying a large standing cabinet and sewing a floral fabric to elastic and wrapping it around the sink. The area under the sink could now be used as storage space for cleaning products, pots and pans, etc. When our first baby began toddling around, it became his favorite destination. He enjoyed crashing through the curtain, playing with the pots and pans, and eating the soap powder. I could not wait to escape from this hazardous kitchen. Eventually we converted the space to a toy area where he sat playing with his cars, trucks and blocks. In fact, that’s where he said his first word, which was ‘car’.

One night, my husband arrived home from work with a bottle of champagne and wonderful news. He had just received a big promotion and a very substantial salary increase. While eating dinner at our little kitchen table with the baby next to us in his high chair, we toasted to his new job and our new house. It is now more than 50 years later and I still remember that antiquated kitchen and the joy and happiness we experienced in it.” Jean McAlary passed away in October, but the little boy under the sink still loves kitchens and is, of course, the founder of Main Line Kitchen Design. Hoping all our kitchens bring our customers the kind of joyful memories my mother’s 1960s kitchen brought her. And as Julia Child, who passed 17 years ago, said...

“Bon Appetit!” — PAUL MCAL ARY
