The Day I Chopped my Hair Off for Coach Mark Parsons, but actually for Pantene Beautiful Lengths

August 10, 2016 by Kendall Johnson in Personal Stories

In between training sessions,  Arrow Liver Maureen Fitzgerald  cut 10 inches off my hair.  It happened to be Coach Mark Parsons birthday, so the team decided to gift him my hair, which we thought he might find useful. After the joke,  I ended up donating it to Pantene Beautiful Lengths. They make wigs for women battling cancer. If you have any luscious locks, consider donating to this great organization:

Pantene Beautiful Lengths

Everyone deserves to feel strong, powerful and beautiful.

I feel lighter and freer already!

My stylist, Mo is still looking to raise money for standing desks. Read more about this Arrow Liver and donate to her Fundme here :Who is amateur call-up Maureen Fitzgerald? School teacher by day, Portland Thorns FC player by night

Praise

“There isn’t anything Kendall does without pouring everything she has to offer into it. She cares enough to not be scared to say what you might not always want to hear. She’s already been a great mentor. She is someone I admire so much. She doesn’t make excuses and will achieve what she is after.”
— Allie Long, USWNT World Cup Champion
“Few people have positively impacted me on or off the field as much as Kendall. She has a unique ability to help elevate all of the lives she comes in contact with. Through her own pursuits, triumphs, and trials, she has accumulated a wealth of different approaches to professional and personal growth. It is impossible to spend time with her and not walk away as a better version of yourself.”
— Michelle Betos, NWSL Goalkeeper of the Year
“In the world of professional athletes, you are surrounded by self-motivated people who are all working to a varying degree of “obsessive” to push themselves as hard and far as they can physically, mentally, and psychologically go. This doesn’t even begin to describe Kendall’s approach to all aspects of life. She lets nothing slip through the cracks and has a natural ability to put her passion to practice. Anyone who sits down in a conversation with Kendall will leave smarter, challenged, and with their perspective on life considerably altered.”
— Emily Menges, NWSL Champion
“I met Kendall at a challenging time in my life, and from the start, I felt comfortable sharing those challenges with her. After I first opened up to her about it, it was easy from then on out because she always helped me see my feelings are valid; my experiences and my story are my own, and I can make them to be what I want. She helped me find the beauty in times of struggle and she somehow managed to respond to my life hurdles, and her own, with an open mind and a good laugh. She has helped me to believe life works for us, not against us, and my life has become better for that. She is an amazing teacher.”
— EJ Proctor, Duke goalkeeper
