During the pandemic, when everything slowed down and isolation became the norm, the women’s locker room became a bright spot of positivity and connection. Even without the roar of the crowd, we didn’t let the quiet stop us from celebrating with each other. Honestly, it felt like every week was someone’s birthday! We’d fill the room with balloons, bring in cakes, and create this festive atmosphere that lifted everyone’s spirits.
But those moments were about more than just birthdays—they were about the bonds we built during a tough time. The laughter, the shared stories, and even the goofy decorations turned the locker room into a safe, happy place. It reminded us that even when the world felt heavy, we could always find joy in each other’s company.
