Alexa Bain is one of those remarkable spirits, one who not only takes on her game's biggest challenge but wraps her arms around it and embraces it, loves it, lives it.
Bain is one of those fearless and calm, cool and collected souls who is the defense on the soccer field. Of course, everyone knows defense wins championships. But if you are a defender, you can play perfectly all evening, all 90 gut-wrenching minutes and then make one mistake and you are the game's goat. If you are an attacker, you can play horribly all evening, all gut-wrenching 90 minutes and then make one big play and you are the game's hero.
