USA Star Sedrick on Broadcast Team for Sunday's PR7s All-Star Tournament
USA Olympic star Spiff Sedrick may be in injury rehab but that doesn't mean she's exuded from being part of Sunday's PR7s All-Star Tournament.
The player who ran the length of the field in Paris to secure a Bronze Medal for the USA will be a sideline reporter and in-booth announcer for the All-Star event and this week she's been doing media interviews all around Portland.
"I guess I m an expert now," Sedrick joked, referring to how many y interviews she has given since that historic try.
But she also doesn't forget that it was playing in PR7s that helped vault her into a bigger role on the USA team.
For the current USA residency players facing PR7s All-Stars that kind of proving ground will be crucial, too.
"This year particularly there's a ton of value for the players in this tournament," Sedrick told GRR.
For the USA Women's team, "we had quite a few girls retire and girls taking some leave and recovering. So there are a good number of spots opening up and this is a final effort to get selected for Dubai and Cpe Town."
That is it in a nutshell for both the men's and women's USA teams. They will be playing against talented and experienced PR7s All-Stars, who will be an ideal test to see if these new USA hopefuls can handle playing at that level.
Sedrick said she doesn't want to speak for the USA coaches, but she does have an idea of what they would be looking for.
"I would assume clean basics, being able to follow a game plan, good interplay with teammates," said this weekend's celebrity broadcaster. "And always, a head on a swivel looking for those X-factor plays."
PR7s All-Star Tournament kicks off Sunday, Nov. 17 at Providence Park in Portland, Ore., starting 1PM PT (4PM ET).
