The Washington Spirit now has a woman in charge. For its players, that means a lot.

The National Women’s Soccer League champions are almost two weeks into training camp at an indoor venue in Northern Virginia before operations move to Bradenton, Fla., this weekend. Veterans are regaining fitness and prospects are seeking to make their mark before roster cuts begin.

In other ways, everything has changed since Tuesday, when Steve Baldwin and Y. Michele Kang arrived at practice and told unsuspecting players that their ownership feud, one that had hung over the club for more than six months, was over.

After resisting calls to sell controlling interest to Kang, Baldwin agreed to a $35 million deal.
