Caroline Brandes

This reserved German winger leaves defenders in the dust with lightning acceleration, though her frequent loss of balance often leads to clumsy, head-scratching tumbles. To stay focused, she obsessively organizes her locker items by color and refuses to step onto the pitch unless she has first performed a perfect mid-air cartwheel. Her teammates simply shake their heads, pretending not to notice as they wait for her to stick the landing before kickoff.
