Former Maryland field hockey star Linnea Gonzales really isn't unlike most young folks just out of college. She gets up every day and drives to work, puts in a full day and then drives home.
The only difference is Gonzales is working on an Olympic dream she has had since she was a youngster. Until recently, she was driving every weekday from her Bel Air, Md., home to Lancaster, Pa., to train at "The Nook" with the United States women's national field hockey team. And yes, it's a full-time job.
"We have two practices on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9-to-11, break for a meeting and then go 2-to-4," she explained. "We have a workout and practice on Monday, and also Wednesday and Friday, then we have weekends off."
