As a former defender, Stoney has been able to give Torpey, who can play full-back or winger on either side, a few pointers – and the players she comes up against every day in training also help, without even knowing it. Torpey remembers her first session with the Wave and going up against Shaw, the exciting young United States women’s national team star. “I was like, ‘Okay, this is where you know where the standards are’,” she says.
“She's obviously an amazing player, but everyone [is]. If you make one mistake, it can lead to a goal in training and that's why it's so good because you learn so much. In the last two to three months, I've probably learned more than I ever have on the football side of the game. Casey's a big reason for it, but it's also because the players around me are world-class and everyone has a name and everyone's got a bit of fame here. It's great.

Pat Torpey, the drummer and founding member of the revered music band, Mr. Big, died Wednesday after complications from Parkinson’s disease. He was 64.
According to a report by Ultimate Classic Rock, Torpey was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2014 but still worked with the band as a “drum producer,” background vocalist and as a percussionist when it released the album “Defying Gravity” in 2017.
The band on its official Twitter page announced the news saying, “With breaking hearts we tell you that out brother, friend, drummer and founding member, Pat [Torpey], passed away Wednesday.” It also requested privacy on behalf of the family, band and management members.
Torpey was a drummer for the band from 1988-2002 and then again from 2009-2014. He was born on Dec. 14, 1953, in Cleveland, Ohio, and started playing drums at the age of seven after he witnessed a polka band performing at a picnic. In 1983, Torpey moved to Los Angeles where he got the opportunity to play drums in television shows like “American Bandstand” and “Solid Gold.”
After that, Torpey toured with music artist Tina Turner and Belinda Carlisle and then joined the band called Knack, the report said.

Speaking about his new song, Torpey says, "I like to think of Only The Good Die Young as falling into the camp of 'optimistic nihilism'. It’s a song that is lyrically about feeling nihilistic about the state of the world but with music that uplifts and offers catharsis to that feeling."
