Atatha zaka zambiri akusewera ndi Tampa Bay Junior Lightning kusukulu ya pulaimale, anali wokonda masewera ake mwakuti makolo ake adamulola kuti alembetse kusukulu yogonera komwe ili pamtunda wamakilomita chikwi kuchokera kwawo ku Florida.

(Hockey si masewera okhawo aamuna ochezeka ndi akazi; fufuzani Chifukwa Chake Magulu A Sukulu Yasekondale Akukumbatira Othamanga Aakazi.)

"Atayesedwa, makochi adabwera kwa ine nati, 'Mukutsimikiza kuti mukufuna kusewera kukhudzana "Rylan, yemwe tsopano ali ndi zaka 28, akukumbukira." Ndidati, Chabwino, ndikudziwa kuti sindikuyesera ballet. ' Ndinkadziwa zomwe ndimalowa."

Adalimba mtima atagundidwa ndi osewera nawo akulu, olimba kwambiri aku koleji- "pambuyo pamasewera aliwonse, ndimamva ngati ndagundidwa ndi galimoto yaying'ono," akutero - koma kukula kwawo sikunali kokha kusiyana kowawa pakati pawo. Anyamatawo adalota za kusewera mu NHL, kapena ngakhale kusamutsira kusewera sukulu ya D-1. Rylan, zachidziwikire, sakanatha.

Iye akufotokoza kuti: “Ngati mwasewerapo masewera enaake moyo wanu wonse, amakhala mbali ya umunthu wanu, choncho mukangowapachika, zimakhala zomvetsa chisoni.

Akunena kuti othamanga achikazi amafika pachimake ali ndi zaka 27, kapena theka lazaka khumi pambuyo pa koleji. Chifukwa chake Rylan atamaliza maphunziro ake, anali osakonzeka kusiya masewera ake. Adasamukira ku New York City, komwe adatsegula malo ake ogulitsira khofi (Rise and Grind ku East Harlem) ndikupitiliza kusewera matimu awiri azikalabu za amuna. "Ndizoyenera kwa ine, koma kwa osewera omwe akupikisanabe pamlingo wadziko, cholinga chawo chachikulu ndikusewera masewera a Olimpiki zaka zinayi zilizonse," adatero. Panalibe mwayi wosankha, palibe mgwirizano waku America, ndipo kulibe mwayi woti akazi azilipira. Rylan adadandaula mwayi wonse womwe adaphonya, othamanga onse omwe analibe zolinga zotsalira.

Lingaliro lidakhalabe kwa iye m'moyo wonse wa post-grad, pomwe adachoka pansi. Ndipo munali masewera a Olimpiki a 2014, pomwe magulu azimayi a hockey ochokera ku US ndi Canada adamenya nawo nthawi yayitali pamapeto omaliza, pomwe Rylan adalimbikitsidwa kuti apange ligi -yokha. "Nditawonera masewera a hockey amtunduwu ndikuzindikira kuti panalibe mwayi ngati uwu kwa anzanga, zidawoneka ngati zopanda pake," akutero. "Sindinakhulupirire kuti kulibe kale." (Kumanani ndi Akazi Ambiri Amene Akusintha Nkhope ya Atsikana.)

Pomwe anali kufufuza za bizinesi yatsopanoyi, masewera azimayi anali kutchuka kuposa kale lonse, pomwe gulu la azimayi aku America adapambana World Cup ndi Serena Williams mkati mwa nyengo yodabwitsa. Chisamaliro chonse chinangomuthandiza, Rylan akufotokoza.

Ndiye munthu amayamba bwanji kupanga ligi yamasewera yadziko? Potenga foni. Zambiri. "Anthu nthawi zonse amati dziko la hockey ndi laling'ono, ndipo ndi momwe zinthuzi zimasinthira mwachangu," akutero. "Ndinafikira banja langa la hockey, ndipo aliyense anali kumbuyo kwake. Onse adati 'Dani, uyenera kuchita izi!" Ntchito yake ya hockey yazaka makumi awiri idamupatsa mwayi wolumikizana, kuyambira osewera mpaka malo, pomwe khofi shopu idamuphunzitsa maluso akulu azamalonda. Pasanathe chaka, ligi idayamba.

Rylan adapeza osewera, amakhala m'misasa yophunzitsira, adasanthula mizinda, adapanga magulu, ndi malo omwe akonzedwere. "Aliyense amene amachita ndandanda yantchito, chipewa changa ndiwapita," amaseka. Kwa malo, adasankha kuyang'ana kumpoto chakum'mawa. "Makumi atatu ndi atatu peresenti ya mayina onse a hockey ali kumpoto chakum'mawa," akufotokoza. "Kuti tisamawononge ndalama, tidasankha misika inayi yomwe ili kotheka kumpoto chakum'mawa." Mizinda yomaliza, ndi magulu awo, ndi Buffalo Beauts, New York Riveters, Connecticut Whale, ndi Boston Pride.

Kupeza ndalama kunali, kovuta kwambiri. "Othandizira amafuna manambala ogwirika: chiwonetsero chathu ndi chiyani, ndi mafani angati omwe amapita kumasewera, ndi zina zotero," akutero Rylan. "Ngati simunasewerepo nyengo yino, mulibe manambala amenewo. Mwamwayi, takhala tikugulitsa ndalama kuyambira pachiyambi omwe akhala akuthandiza kwambiri ligi iyi, komanso masewera azimayi. Ndi bizinesi yosagwiridwa!"

Zitenga nthawi kuti osewerawa apeze ndalama zopezera ndalama pamasewera awo - osatchulanso kukokera ma contract a anthu asanu ndi atatu ngati Lebrons of the world-koma ndendende zomwe azimayiwa angapange? "Kwenikweni, ino ndi nthawi yabwino kufunsa funso ili chifukwa malipiro oyamba adatuluka lero," akutero Rylan monyadira. "Wapakati malipiro ndi $ 15,000." (Aliyense ayenera kuyamba penapake; Umu ndi Momwe Amayi Achimuna Opambana Kwambiri Amalandira Ndalama.)

Pa ndalamazo, othamanga a NWHL achita machitidwe awiri sabata, masewera asanu ndi anayi apanyumba, ndi masewera asanu ndi anayi apatsogolo. Rylan adaonetsetsa kuti ndandanda ya nyengoyo inali yabwino kwa azimayi, omwe atha kukhala ndi ntchito yanthawi zonse komanso mabanja. Zochita zimachitika pambuyo pa nthawi yogwira ntchito, ndipo masewera amangochitika Lamlungu lokha. "Tili ndi gulu la azimayi osiyanasiyana mu ligi," akutero, kuyambira aphunzitsi mpaka omanga mapulani, kuyambira ma gals am'deralo mpaka azimayi omwe adalembedwa ku Austria, Russia, ndi Japan.
