Meet a Team Rep

“The best things in life aren't things". I couldn’t agree with you more. This is Mary Beth Bourke’s favourite quote. She is also the very proud Team Rep for JILLS IN THE BOX. This is her third season playing with the Notso’s and loving every minute of it. You can spot playing catcher, or anywhere in the outfield.

What does Mary Beth love about being a member of the Notso team, “I like being a part of NOTSOs because you meet SO MANY PEOPLE. It's a great way to get outside, get active, be a part of a community and make new friends.”

Her favourite all time sports movie would be Jerry Maguire. Although it isn’t about sports, but about a sports agent, his girlfriend, and his football player client, and how he finds meaning in his work and life. She totally loves this movie - the story, how it's shot, the music, the actors and the theme: taking chances for what you believe in. You probably think her favourite actor would be Tom Cruise, nope it’s Robert Downey Jr. ‘He's had his ups and downs but he always delivers. I loved Sherlock Holmes and Iron Man’

Mary Beth is stumped when it comes to choosing her favourite all time song. “Impossible!” she says, “There's a world of music and it never ends and I want to keep experiencing it. To get away from the same old playlists and stuff on my iTunes I tune into the internet radio station littleradio.com.”

She also seems to have some favourites with her drinks ‘Cold beer on a hot day. Cold white wine on a hot day or cool red wine on a cold night with a medium rare rib eye steak and a homemade Caesar salad. Oops that's three favourite drinks and one favourite meal!’ That totally sounds like a delicious combo!

Mary Beth has a passion for travelling. She recently visited New Orleans and fell in love! It's an amazing musical city filled with fascinating people and architecture. She has also travelled to San Francisco, Reno, and Provincetown. In the past 4 years she has attended the Burning Man festival and has a soft spot for Italy. Wow- sounds like her passport is filled with stamps from all over the place!

So what does a girl like Mary Beth do in spare time, she enjoys gardening, hockey, hitting some golf balls, art and of course the movies.

Something interesting about Mary Beth she has taken acting classes. Maybe one day we’ll see her in the movies!
