Half Russian, Half American Anya Mind is a little stick of dynamite that is known for her explosive power on the field. Anya is similarly known for her bid personality off the field, so when she was given the opportunity to so and spread her love of American football Anya wanted to start in her mother's home country of Russia. When asked "Why Russia?" the daring diva replied with a good natured laugh. She then chose to follow that laugh up with an in-depth look at her reasoning for bringing Football to Russia.
"My decision to set up a camp in my mother’s homeland of Russia is not one I made on a whim. Russia is home to some of the best athletes in the world. It has been said that whatever a Russian athlete set out to accomplish they don't just do it, they perfect it. If the ISFL wants some of the best athletic talent that the world has to offer they would be wise to look to Russia. Specifically, my trip to Russia is to inspire more women to take up the gauntlet of the grid iron. After Russia, I have decided to make multiple trips around Europe seeing out adventurous souls who like to lay it all out on the field.”
