2-time Olympian Kristi Kirshe is living her dream after winning a bronze medal with the US Women's Rugby Sevens team in Paris! The Franklin, Mass native has dreamt of being an Olympian since she was a kid, and while it may not look exactly as she thought (on the rugby pitch), it may be even better! Today we dive in to:

• The feeling of coming home to her Franklin High School field and community with as an Olympic Bronze Medalist
• Inner dialogue during the final seconds of the bronze medal match against Australia when Alex Sedrick (aka Spiff) scored to win the game
• Rugby culture -- camaraderie and competition
• Rise of the sport as a result of the team's performance and personalities
• The 1% of work and play the world sees vs. 99% we don't
• Love for movies & dream "meets"
