There weren’t a lot of schools in Pennsylvania that could claim to have an ice rink. Back when I was in school, hockey was my high school’s sport. If I had to be honest, I was excited to familiarize myself with the NHL again. Not, however, so disappointed that I planned to turn down the massive pay rise the Pumas promised me. I was sad to leave Washington DC for Salt Lake and to leave the NFL for the NHL. The Pumas headhunted me! To be headhunted as a nutritionist was a huge deal. Their diets are so specific, every player their own challenge.Īnd yet, the day I was approached by the Salt Lake Pumas felt just as exciting as the Washington Bears had. Working with professional athletes was so different than just working with so-called normal people. It was the toughest job I’d ever had but I loved every minute of it. How could it? Being asked to become the official nutritionist to an NFL team was career-changing! Life-changing, even!Īnd it had been, too. I was certain back then that absolutely nothing would ever beat that thrill. The day I got the call from the Washington Bears was one of the most exciting days in my life.

But hesitating for so long might mean I’ve lost my chance forever. My mind painted vivid pictures of the two of us together until my resolution weakened. I’d made a mistake in my marriage, who was to say I hadn’t made a mistake in my career choice, too? Noah certainly seemed to think so. I didn’t care how much my heart raced for the hockey player that night on our shared patio, I had to put myself first and focus on moving ahead. My heart couldn’t handle another rejection, and certainly not from the hot new next-door neighbour. For the love of hockey, please, not the divorcées! Between my uncompromising captain and the younger sister that I barely knew, my relationships were complicated enough without Scarlett. Not to get involved with freshly-heartbroken lawyers. I came back to the UK to be closer to the family I left behind after college.
