Hannan’s car is a bit like a mobile sporting goods outlet.
It’s filled with soccer cleats, a yoga mat, bathing suit, tennis shoes, a towel and running shoes. Some days she loads up her surfboard, too, in case she can catch some waves after work.
“I’m always ready,” she says. “It looks like I live out of my car.”
Since age 3 when her parents signed her up for soccer, Hannan has been hooked on action. Soccer was her first love, but she’s also played basketball, skied and snowboarded, was a figure skater, swam on her high school team and plays tennis. While the rest of her clan was happy to relax on a beach on summer vacations, Hannan was the perpetual pest.
“I was always the one, ‘Come on! Let’s go swim or do something!’ ” she says. “That’s been a love of mine — physical activity — forever.”
