10. She Considers Herself A Tomboy And Is An All-American Soccer Player
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQjhPAhTeks While fans may be more familiar with the prissy, dress-wearing, somewhat manipulative young woman they see on Total Divas or the green in-ring competitor whose lack of experience has been exposed on Raw and SmackDown, Eva Marie is actually quite the athlete. With three older brothers, she was inspired to follow in their footsteps. Since they were all athletes, she would be, too. As described in a piece for FMI Guild, Eva Marie became an All-American soccer player. That Eva Marie's athleticism has not been emphasized more by commentators is puzzling. One of the biggest knocks against her by fans is that she is a former model, someone with a pretty face and more style than substance. So why not change those perceptions by talking up her triumphs on the field and allow her to show flashes of her athleticism in her ring work? As she continues to develop as an in-ring performer, expect to see her expand her move set to incorporate moves that better showcase her abilities.
