Gotham FC Forward Midge Purce In Bikini Asks “Can I Get A Yeehaw?”
Midge Purce is best known for being a forward on the Gotham FC soccer team and for playing on the US National team. She recently got the opportunity to model for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit at their Miami Swim Week show. Midge shared some photos of herself on the runway on Instagram. In them, she wore a white bikini with brown trim and a tan cowboy hat, her impressive figure on display. Midge captioned the post, “Can I get a yee-haw?”
She Focuses On Herself
Midge shared some of her tips for success in an interview with Women’s Health. She says that she tries to focus on herself, and not what others are doing. “Run your own race. Don’t get caught up and lost in comparing your journey to someone else’s, because they’re gonna be really different. And where you are has nothing to do with where they are, so just keep your eye on the prize and run your own race.”
She Does Little Things To Motivate Her
When it comes to recovery, Midge tells Women’s Health that doing little things helps her stay consistent. “Don’t diminish the little things, because they add up. I struggle with being disciplined with recovery. I am really good at doing the hard things, doing an extra rep, staying after practice, coming early, doing more conditioning, dealing with the physical pain. It’s the easy things, the little things like… make sure you ice bath after practice.”
She’s Positive
Midge makes sure to stay positive when it comes to her career. “Keep a positive perspective on what’s happening,” she said to Women’s Health. “Make sure that when you’re approaching [your passions], you keep this mindset and this perspective of positivity and motivation, remembering why you’re doing it instead of getting lost in the stress of it all the time. The journey is oftentimes the best part.”
She’s Organized
Midge has a busy schedule, so staying organized is crucial for her. “There was a time when I had to balance training in the offseason and developing The Offseason show, and that was one of the most difficult things that I’ve ever done,” she told Women’s Health. “Trying to prepare something that’s gonna ultimately improve my game in the future and help me and facilitate my life and other players, while also having the discipline to do the things that I need to do, and not get too tired or overworked. So, I’m really good about being organized in my calendar. If I don’t write [something down] in my calendar, it’s not happening.”
She Plays Soccer
Soccer is obviously one of the things that keeps Midge in shape. Better Health says that the sport has a lot of health benefits. “Soccer can be a great workout and lots of fun. The health benefits include that it: increases aerobic capacity and cardiovascular health, lowers body fat and improves muscle tone, builds strength, flexibility and endurance.”
