" Ms Elle is celebrating 10 years of voluntarily promoting and assisting the growth & development of the sport in Costa Rica & Central America! "
Since January of 20-11 Ms Elle recognized the need to promote the sport in English for Costa Rica.
Ms Elle started her Costa Rica journey in the sport by creating and submitting weekly English media press releases
to several of the Costa Rica news sites/newspapers and X-pat organizations to promote all scheduled football activities.
As well she routinely assisted local and international editors and journalists with American Football in Costa Rica and Central America information for articles and responded to countless inquiries.
Ms Elle initiated an online newsletter published every two months in 20-11 titled The Blitz Report highlighting football activities including informative links. Of course a decade later the contact info, logos, Federation/teams, links and pretty well everything on the newsletter is now obsolete with the evolution of the sport but for some of the OG coaches/players it may be a fun blast from the past to view a sample publication. Bring back memories.

Ms Elle established the American Football in Costa Rica Facebook profile in 20-11 along with a few other social media profiles and continued to publish content for the sport in Costa Rica and Central America in English.
In 20-12 Ms Elle established the American Football In Costa Rica website.
With weekly updates and covering all American Football activities in the country it became a leading source of information. Over the next few years she started including information from the Central American region and that was when she decided it was time to create a new website in 20-15 for Central America. Back in the day before the popularity and accessibility of social media and everyone acquiring cell phones, collecting information for the development of the American Football In Central America website was painstaking. Since there was no centralized source of information and most communications were done by telephone and email. It was a challenging feat to 'unite' the entire Central American region of Federations/Leagues/Teams together as one information hub. It took about a year to acquire and complete enough content on the website to launch it. Especially when Federated leagues would not communicate or share information with private leagues and vice-versa and the 'constant' changing of names, logos and contact information until the growing pains days of the sport were behind or at least more consistent.
A few years later her efforts caught the attention of the founder of AFI and she began submitting basic information for him to write-up the American Football articles on his news site. She was ecstatic that he would be interested in Costa Rica! After a time the founder opened up the newsite to AFI correspondent writers from different regions. From then on Ms Elle has written approximately 4 articles per year for AFI gaining Costa Rica and Central America additional international exposure.

Ms Elle designed and printed thousands of business cards specifically for her different American Football websites to distribute wherever she went from sports bars, to USA Embassy to Casa Presidencial to gain more exposure for the sport. Even when she traveled to Central American countries she would often times distribute cards to the other American Football leagues/teams/players so they could become familiar with the sport in the region.
The website American Football in Costa Rica established in 20-12 is just one of the many promotional initiatives created by Ms Elle.
Initially intended to attract local x-pat fans & international exposure for the region and to entice new opportunities for the sport.
Over the years many new opportunities were realized such as obtaining numerous foreign & local players/coaches (Ms Elle directly placed over 100 players on teams over the years and that is not counting the ones that had contacted teams directly from team links on the website) to securing free football clinics led by semi & pro players not only for Costa Rica but for the region to donated equipment to sparking sponsors interest to connecting & welcoming international teams/bowls.
Over the years Costa Rica has become a desired 'American Football Destination'.
As well Ms Elle has been archiving the 'history of the sport' for the region and regardless of the numerous power tripping controlling football politics that never seem to seize in the region she has always promoted all leagues (Federation, Association, Private) in Central America with the exception of boycotting the AFFP Federation in Panama, 2018 after 6 consecutive years of promoting (but that is for another story) and acting as a year-round information source for journalists/authors, history buffs, and other frequent inquiries.
Ms Elle is proud to provide since 20-11 the only 'consistent online source' for communications and information covering
all leagues/teams especially when many of their websites & social media profiles closed or became inactive over the years.
Online initiatives have not been her only contributions to the sport as she was also involved with other volunteers in establishing the foundation for Women's American Football in Costa Rica during its infancy years, most notably as team manager of the Goddesses CR, the first women's team in San Jose.
Ms Elle is also an advocate for women's equality, rights and safeguarding in the sport, not only in Costa Rica but for the region.
That was just a 'splash' of info!
A lot more biography content being published in mid-December!
