ST. LOUIS, MO (November 10, 2009) – Elise Weber found herself in a situation that many rookie players in the WPS went through in 2009. Weber realized that the WPS is one tough league, and a league not particularly easy for first year professionals.
“During my first professional season, I realized that I needed work in several areas of my game,” said Weber. “I know I can improve in these areas through repetitive individual work.”
Weber didn’t get to do a lot of this type of training at this tim…
