Part 7 in a series of articles on the players that make up the 2009 Los Angeles Sol.

To be named team captain for any team means bearing the responsibility of leading your fellow troops into any battleground, be it on the court, the ice, the pool, the track, or the field.
To be worthy of this designation, one must have accomplished a lot while suffering through adversity and long odds.
It means recovering through the pain, toiling through that long trail to triumph known as tribulation, and displaying a competitive valor that courses through your veins like the confidence you have in your team...and yourself.
Shannon Boxx, captain of the Los Angeles Sol, fits this mold.
She has the heart of a champion and has gone through so much in her career playing the game she loves.
She once considered ending her career, even with her best years looming ahead of her, suffered through injury and agony as a member of the national team, winning Olympic gold before being named captain for Abner Rogers's club.
