Tonight, the USWNT will play the Netherlands in their second game in the Women’s World Cup. It is Match Day. Our team is the most successful in international women’s soccer, winning four Women’s World Cup titles, four Olympic gold medals, and nine CONCACAF Gold Cups. I will be watching tonight.
In the medical profession, Match Day causes much anticipation among thousands of graduating medical students on the third Friday of every March. Their Match Day is the national process of securing a residency placement and it is one of the most memorable and consequential days in the life of a medical student.
MatchDay is also a soccer gaming company composed of a global team of video game veterans, united by their love of soccer and working together to develop a new category of games for the sport’s 5 billion fans. From their website: It all starts with a ball, and we unite as one. Under the banner of the beautiful game. To spark real connections and pull down the barriers that hold us apart.
I have had the pleasure this summer of creating a Match Day for several candidates seeking employment and purpose at Kent School. It has been incredibly gratifying and humbling to see the joy in the faces of candidates when a position is offered. I cannot wait to welcome new employees to campus at the end of August for their official orientation, although I have already seen several of them on campus beginning to get their classrooms and offices ready.
It all starts with a mission, and we unite as one. Go Ospreys!
