Alessia Russo Wears Her Heart on Her Wrist

Posted Nov 3, 2017
Alessia Russo is fast, so you may not catch it. But if she slows down, a small, white band can be spotted on her forearm. The piece of cloth reads “TFLF,” and it’s what motivates the 18-year-old striker from Kent, England. “Team. Family. Love. Fun,” Russo explains in a British accent. “You put tape around your wrist, and you write things that you play for.” (Argyle Report)
