1

Speaker 1: I don't want to have any regrets or you know,

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: look back and be like I could have done more.

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: So if I can put as much into it as possible,

4
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:24,280

00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,480

Speaker 2: I'm so good. I have a surprise for you. Okay, right,

81
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 2: I like to really jump in with a bang. Okay,

82
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 2: So I have a question from a former teammate of yours,

83
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 2: and the question is who is your favorite former player

84
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 2: that you played with who's really funny, pretty, And I'll

85
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 2: go it.

86
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: It's just like not fair to just put it in

87
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: in that form because there's just so many, many pretty

88
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: funny favorites. I don't think it's Kelly, You're I mean,

89
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: this is going to be a hard one you.

90
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 3: Have, But you're right.

91
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 2: You have a lot of pretty fellow teammates past and present.

92
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: I have a lot that are in my head right now.

93
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 1: But I don't want to just like Sam because if

94
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: I say the wrong one, like, they're just going to

95
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: get upset.

96
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 3: That's awkward.

97
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: I'll tell you if this person won't get upset, all.

98
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 3: Right, give me a name drop.

99
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 2: It creaks, oh creeks for the win.

00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: Wow.

101
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 3: Wow, she's gonna be elated that that's where your head

102
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 3: went on this.

103
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: Easy.

104
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 2: A Pastordal guest on the show and a friend of mine,

105
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 2: I'm happy and humbled that I have the opportunity.

106
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 3: To now sit down with a dear friend of hers.

107
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 2: You are in France right now, you are playing where

108
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 2: you started your pro career.

109
00:05:58,200 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 3: How does it feel to be back?

110
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 2: I hate when I say the words across the pond

111
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 2: it was about to come out over you can say now.

112
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: Across the pond works. No, it's it's been honestly incredible.

113
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: You know, I never really thought I would be back

114
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: here after going back to the US and after my

115
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: first experience, but here I am. It's definitely a whole

116
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: new experience. Leone is incredible. I love living here, I

117
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: love playing here. We're doing really well this season and

118
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: currently in the semi final Champions League and we're top

119
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: of the table in league play as well. So yeah,

120
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: it's it's really exciting.

121
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 2: Top of the table. What a phrase. I appreciate what

122
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 2: you said about. I never really thought that i'd be

123
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 2: back here, especially after my first experience. Talk to me

124
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 2: a little bit about that first experience. Deciding to forego

125
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 2: going to college and head over to France to play professional.

126
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was again one of the more difficult decisions

127
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: of my life, if not the most difficult. Obviously. I

128
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: went at age eighteen to a new culture and new environment,

129
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: a professional league, which is just jumping from high school

130
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: to doing that is just it's obviously different in self,

131
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: I think for me when I look back now and

132
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: I reflect on all these years, and I obviously don't

133
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: regret anything. I was really proud of myself from making

134
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: that decision at such a young age and like actually

135
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: fulfilling what I wanted to do, and part of that

136
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: decision was to ultimately make the women's national team, and

137
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: I thought that was my pathway and that was my route.

138
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: So I'm obviously very thankful that it worked out for me.

139
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: But I think it was kind of the work that

140
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: I put in and all the different things that I

141
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: went through while it was over there, because it was

142
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: really hard, just to say the least. But here I am.

143
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: You know, I'm I'm playing on the US one's national

144
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: team for ten plus years, and for me, I look

145
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: back on that decision, I'm like this, it was all

146
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: worth it, even though it was such a struggle in

147
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: such a difficult period of time.

148
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, understandably so, I mean, to be that far away

149
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 2: from your friends and family at such a young age.

150
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 2: You were the first American female player to sign a

151
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 2: professional contract straight out of high school, it had to

152
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 2: be difficult both emotionally and then of course physically, the

153
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 2: demands of not only you know, going through the ringer

154
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 2: day in and day out with practice, but then also

155
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 2: the physical demands are just working that hard.

156
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think I think for me it was just

157
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: you know, you're an eighteen year old that's in high

158
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: school and then you jump and you're going straight into

159
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: a professional life, like that's it's just it's so bizarre.

160
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: It's such a different landscape. And it's like, you know,

161
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: when you're playing club with your you know, some of

162
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: your best friends. You know at Colorado Rush where I was,

163
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: it's like it's so exciting every every single day it's happy,

164
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: it's you're enjoying and whatnot. And you go into the

165
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: professional landscape and it's like you're fighting for a spot.

166
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: You're fighting for like this is a job. Like you

167
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 1: show up and it is a job, and obviously it's

168
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: what you make of it. And every day I look

169
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: at what I do and I'm like, I'm so happy

170
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: and it's joy and all these things. But at the

171
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: very beginning, it kind of hits you that, like this,

172
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: this is a job, like people, it's not just like

173
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: flowers and butterflies and what people think professional sports is like.

174
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: So I think that was the that was the difference

175
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: for me, and I also I had to learn a

176
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 1: lot about my body and what it took to be

177
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: a professional athlete. I think before I obviously I was

178
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: training three to four times a day at club, like

179
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: with boys, with girls, with older players, et cetera, and

180
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: I could, you know, eat, do whatever I want to,

181
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: and you go into the professional world that it's like

182
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: you're training one time a day and maybe some lifts,

183
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: but like you're just getting ready for the game over

184
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: the weekend. So there was a lot of learning that

185
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: I had to go through, which was a difficult process

186
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: as well.

187
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, and especially because I feel as though at eighteen,

188
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 2: your relationship with your body is like in such a

189
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 2: state of flux and like you're learning about yourself and

190
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 2: there's just so it's so intricate. So to then be

191
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 2: using your body for your profession and have other people

192
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 2: weighing in on how you treat your body, what you

193
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 2: do with your body, how your body looks like, no

194
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 2: matter your age, that's hard, but especially at that point.

195
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think again, when I look back, there are

196
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: just so many things that I wish I had known

197
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 1: or had any knowledge of, especially with like the nutrition

198
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: part or just preparation for being a professional athlete. I

199
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: think obviously you learn over the course of time with

200
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 1: your body what it needs, like your metabolism and all

201
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: these things. But I think my jump from you know

202
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: what I said before I was training through to four

203
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: times a day, I was burning so many calories. I

204
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: was doing so much and working so hard to going

205
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: to a professional life and turning one time a day,

206
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,839
Speaker 1: and then having to realize like what I could and

207
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: couldn't put in my body, and then on top of it,

208
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: having the French culture that isn't So what's the best

209
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: word I could say nice about about that part of

210
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: that part of the profession. I think that's what probably

211
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: made it the most difficult part being over there and

212
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: playing and going through that.

213
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean you've spoken openly about kind of

214
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 2: the hurdles no pun intended, that you encountered when you

215
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 2: started playing over in France, interactions you had with coaching

216
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 2: staff commenting on your body, making you feel as though

217
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 2: you weren't okay as you were despite being one of,

218
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,959
Speaker 2: if not the top performer on the team.

219
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's it's crazy because you know, sometimes

220
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: I'm like so open to talking about it, and then

221
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: sometimes it's still like hits a wound and it and

222
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: it's hard. And especially when I see other players, and

223
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: you know, especially other women that go through this on

224
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: a daily basis in sport, I think it's really hard

225
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 1: because obviously we have a standard that we have to

226
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: hold in a level like being a professional athlete, being ready,

227
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: being prepared, and you know, you always want to be

228
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: at your best wit like you want to be you

229
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: want to feel good when you're playing. And so there's

230
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: an aspect to that which I completely understand. But there's

231
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 1: a way of doing it, and there's a way of

232
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: making the player feel comfortable speaking about it and putting

233
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: them in the best place possible. I remember I had

234
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 1: a conversation with you know, Don Scott's she's massive in

235
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 1: the women's game now. She worked with my US women's

236
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: national team and and there was a point of time

237
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 1: where I felt like I wasn't the fittest that I

238
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: could be, and she helped me where she was just

239
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: like okay, like can we get some more lean muscle mass,

240
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,719
Speaker 1: Like can we switch a few things here nutritionally? Can

241
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: we do a few more things in the gym like X,

242
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: Y and Z. But she made it so comfortable for

243
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: me to speak about it where I knew like maybe

244
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: it was I needed to lose a few pounds and

245
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: I would hit my you know, best weight, my best

246
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: playing weight and things like this. I think we should

247
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: be more comfortable speaking about that, but it's so difficult

248
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: with women and the way that they did it at

249
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: PhD in France. It was just a complete opposite. It

250
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: was so shameful and so so hard on such a

251
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: young individual that's not from there, you know. And so

252
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,599
Speaker 1: I battle with it because I'm like, how do you

253
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: speak to someone about this when maybe they do need help,

254
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 1: but in the best way possible when it's an eighteen

255
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 1: year old coming from America, you know. So I could

256
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 1: go on rants about it.

257
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 3: But no, I get it and I can really sympathize

258
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 3: with it.

259
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 2: I mean, I am far from the size of women

260
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,959
Speaker 2: that you see in a majority conventional advertising, especially when

261
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 2: it comes to sport or in traditional advertising.

262
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 3: When it comes to running, running is my sport.

263
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 2: It's how I identify as an athlete, and so it's.

264
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 3: Difficult when you feel good in.

265
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 2: Your body, but there is marketing or media or individuals

266
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 2: out there that lead you to believe that you're doing

267
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 2: something wrong just because you don't look like the popular athlete.

268
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: Right And this is this is hard in our time

269
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: of day because you see that everywhere, you know, and

270
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: I think that's it's really important to you know, remember

271
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: that we're not all the same. And I think that's

272
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: what like has gotten me through that time to now

273
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: is like there are people and brands and you know,

274
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: spokesmen that are are fighting for this thought process because,

275
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: like you said, you look at social media, you look

276
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: at all these ads, you look at certain things where

277
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: you're just like, that's who I should be, that's who

278
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: I should look like. But then it's like, no, my

279
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: body's going to be different to the person next to

280
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: me on the field, and it's whatever is going to

281
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: make me feel best. And like we just spoke about before,

282
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: I was one of the highest performing players at that time,

283
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: but still it wasn't good enough. But yeah, it's uh,

284
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: it's it's wild.

285
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is wild.

286
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 2: And I like what you are putting an emphasis on

287
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 2: was it was about how you wanted to feel and

288
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 2: for you not so much about quote unquote the number

289
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 2: on the scale. Sure, you had an assumption between a

290
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 2: number on a scale and you know how you felt

291
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 2: your best, But I'm sure at the time it wasn't like, oh,

292
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 2: if I'm not that number, then I'm not okay. It's like, no, like,

293
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 2: how do I want to feel in my body so

294
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 2: that I can perform in a way that makes me

295
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 2: feel proud, right, exactly, entirely, entirely, so, so I appreciate

296
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 2: you opening up about that, especially because, like I said,

297
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 2: I think it's something that's so relatable for so many women.

298
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 2: And you mentioned the buzzword brands. I do think that

299
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 2: it's exciting to see more brands giving airtimes showing specifically

300
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 2: women of all shapes, of all sizes, of all abilities

301
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 2: within their marketing. I mean, I was in Paris last week,

302
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 2: and I know that you're an Adidas athlete, and when

303
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 2: they revealed the Olympic kits, it was really awesome to

304
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 2: see all different types of athletes representing their countries. Right.

305
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 2: There were loads of different paralympians, some that could walk,

306
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 2: some that couldn't, you know, larger set bodies, smaller set bodies, tall, short,

307
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 2: all different ethnicities and backgrounds, right, And so it feels

308
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 2: good as a woman who didn't once see individuals that

309
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 2: looked like her in conventional media, to see brands like

310
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 2: Adidas getting into this space and really wanting her to

311
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 2: know that there are all types of people in this

312
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 2: world and each one of them can be an athlete.

313
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you just said it perfectly. But I

314
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: do think like Adidas has been on the forefront of that.

315
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: I've noticed like such a massive change over the past,

316
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,199
Speaker 1: like even since I, you know, first came to France.

317
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 1: When I see what the brand has done, especially for women,

318
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: but in general, you know, showing so many different athletes,

319
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: so many different people, making it so inclusive. And I

320
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: think that's the first thing I noticed when I go,

321
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 1: you know, I go shopping on the site, if I

322
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 1: I'm looking for, you know, clothes or whatever, I see

323
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: so many different, you know, types of bodies and and people.

324
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 1: And I think that is just you know, it's just

325
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: like a welcoming feeling to like what we were talking

326
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 1: about before. But it's so cool to hear, you know

327
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: how you know, the reveal was in Paris and things

328
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: like this, like that's what that's where we should be

329
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: and that's how it should be. And yeah, that that

330
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: just it makes me happy.

331
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 3: It makes me happy too. What year did you sign

332
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 3: with A didas once?

333
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I can't like this.

334
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 3: I don't remember my life Befa's athlete.

335
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: I've been with Adida since I was eighteen. I guess

336
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 1: it was like right when I was turning eighteen and

337
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: I'm twenty nine, So.

338
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 2: It's been a lot had like a brand believe in

339
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 2: you from a young age and not only believe in

340
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 2: you then, but then also stand by you as you

341
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 2: continued on this journey toward you know, the evolution of

342
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 2: your potential.

343
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 3: What does that make you feel?

344
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: Like, Oh, it's honestly, it's so amazing. I think again,

345
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,360
Speaker 1: it was the first brand that like really showed that

346
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: they cared about me. Again, you're putting not a lot

347
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: of risk, but like you're putting investment into a young

348
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 1: individual that you're hoping will reach her potential. And I

349
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: think that's really big from such a big brand. I

350
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: think at the time, Adidas USA didn't have a lot

351
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 1: of women's soccer players, and I think for me to

352
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: go to France, like the visibility isn't, you know, as high,

353
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: but obviously they hope that I'm then on the national

354
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: team and not so I think for the brand to

355
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 1: actually invest in me and to stay invested in me

356
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: and this this entire time, it's just like it's remarkable

357
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: and I appreciate them so much and everything that that

358
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: they've continued to do and and you know, like we've

359
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 1: talked about before. Adidas was the one that put out

360
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: the platform for me to speak on you know, what

361
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: happened to me when I first went to France, Like

362
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 1: that's how that first came out, and we're very you know,

363
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 1: welcoming for me to speak about that and very open,

364
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: and that was that was really meaningful for me because

365
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: I didn't know if that story would ever be shared,

366
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 1: and it actually was, and it was through Adidas. So

367
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: I think for me, I'm very grateful that that happened because,

368
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: like you said, it reaches a lot of a lot

369
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: of females that have maybe gone through the same thing,

370
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: and it did, and I've had so many people who

371
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: speak to me about it because of that. So again

372
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 1: that's it's it's really cool.

373
00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,239
Speaker 2: Was it scary for you at first to open up

374
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 2: about that.

375
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was very scary. I think you always just

376
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 1: it's just like something you don't love talking about, or

377
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: especially before, you don't love talking about it because it

378
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 1: is it's such a hard subject. Like I still think

379
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: it's such a hard subject. It's even hard for me

380
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 1: to like give advice on it because everyone goes through

381
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 1: something different. But I think just sharing your story and

382
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: knowing that, like someone else has gone through that or

383
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: been through you know, hell because of you know, words

384
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: that were said or people or whatever expectation standards. I

385
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 1: think there's comfort in that, and so I think that's

386
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: mainly what my story did. And obviously it also shows

387
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: where I came after that, like I'm always I'm playing

388
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: for the U s Wan's national team, I'm the captain,

389
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: I'm playing some of the best football in my life,

390
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: and like, I went through something so terrible, but you

391
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 1: know I was. I was strong enough to come out

392
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: of it, and I also had a support system around

393
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: me to help me through that, because again, there are

394
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 1: times that you want to quit there You're like what

395
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 1: am I doing? And I'm sure every individual that's gone

396
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: through that is, you know, thinking the same.

397
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, when you have a strong why, you

398
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 2: are capable of navigating things that otherwise without that why

399
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 2: could break you your why At the time, your eyes

400
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 2: set on a US women's national team. Talk to me

401
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 2: a little bit about getting that call.

402
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was my first call up was actually Aligarth

403
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: Cup I can't remember. I think it was twenty twelve

404
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: in Portugal, and yeah, it was one of the best

405
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: feelings of my life. It wasn't short after I went

406
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: over to France, so I was like, oh my gosh,

407
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: Like I did it. This was it. I went to

408
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,719
Speaker 1: France to get this call up. It wasn't like the

409
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: most ideal first camp of my career. I think I

410
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: was out for about like seven months after that or whatever.

411
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: But like I was able to see the standard and

412
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: the level, and I had a lot of communication with

413
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 1: the coach at the time, just saying like basically, you

414
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: will be here if you continue to do this, like

415
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: you will get to this point, but you need more

416
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: work and whatnot. And like once I saw the level,

417
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: once I saw that standard, I was like, I know,

418
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: I can be here if I continue to you know,

419
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: work my ass off. And it's obviously a crazy mentality

420
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,360
Speaker 1: to have, but like it's it's been my goal since

421
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 1: I was a little kid, So I knew I could

422
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 1: achieve it if I if I worked my you know

423
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: what off.

424
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 2: Where there's a why, there's a way when you talk

425
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 2: about working your you know what off and you are

426
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,239
Speaker 2: in this setting where now you are conventionally training you

427
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 2: said once a day with the goal of competing on

428
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 2: the weekends. What shifts after this exposure, your first exposure

429
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 2: to the US women's national team.

430
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 1: Well, at that time, I knew that my fitness was

431
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: nowhere near the level of the US team. I think

432
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: anyone can say like we were. I mean, the US

433
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: has always been the most fit team. Obviously things have

434
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 1: changed like since since then, and you know, so many

435
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: countries are are improving in so many levels with that

436
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: part of their game, But that was like one of

437
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: the major things. And just the speed of the game.

438
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: It's obviously a little bit different than even playing and

439
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: you know your league here, even with with POHC or leone,

440
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: international game is just a little bit different, so you

441
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:32,679
Speaker 1: just have to be ready for that. And I think

442
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: for me it was just like even if I had

443
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: to go do fitness in the park near my apartment,

444
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 1: that's what I was doing. I was doing everything on

445
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: the side. I was. I was just I was working

446
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 1: so hard. And I think I had Tobinheath at the

447
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 1: time that we would stay after training and just work

448
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: on finishing and work on so many different aspects of

449
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 1: our game and get help from them. So yeah, it

450
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: was it was NonStop.

451
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 3: None stop.

452
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 2: So when you are working non stop training NonStop, whether

453
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 2: we're talking about.

454
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 3: Then or now. Is there a balance in your life?

455
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 3: And what if? So if there is balance, what does

456
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 3: that look like.

457
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what before when I had first gone

458
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 1: to France, there is. I don't know if there was

459
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: necessarily balance in my life. It's funny because I always

460
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 1: said there was, but there wasn't. Now that I know

461
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: there is balance, I think now like the way I

462
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 1: look at it is obviously I have a short career

463
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: and I want to put the most I can into it.

464
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: I think there's no coincidence that I'm marrying a man

465
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 1: that's really invested in football as well, so because we're

466
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: just non stop talking football. But we do have such

467
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: a short career and I find time to have balance,

468
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 1: to have the off the field stuff. But I am

469
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 1: so invested and I fell in love with this game

470
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: so early on that I want to do everything I

471
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 1: can towards that little bit of career that I have

472
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: playing and I don't want to have any regrets or

473
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 1: you know, look back and be like I could have

474
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: done more. So, if I can put as much into

475
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: it as possible, like I know, I will reap the reward.

476
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,479
Speaker 1: And I think That's how I first looked at, you know,

477
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: being in France in my earlier years on the national team.

478
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: But obviously as time goes on and you get older

479
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: and our bodies, you know, I know that there's a

480
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,199
Speaker 1: limit in some things. I can't just do three sessions

481
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: a day and things like this, so I've had to

482
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: learn that over over time. I'm sure you can speak

483
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 1: to all of my coaches and high performance and they

484
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: will tell you they wanted to kill me at points

485
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: because I wouldn't get off the field or things like this.

486
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: But I just I just wanted to be better every day.

487
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 1: But now I think I've found a little bit more balanced.

488
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: It's easier because I have a fiance that I can

489
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: do stuff with after training and whatnot. And I have

490
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 1: a dog. That guy helps me a lot out of

491
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: the dog out oh, because I gotta go walk him.

492
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: I have to care to him. So it takes me

493
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: away from soccer a little bit, but it's fun. It's

494
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 1: just like I, I guess I didn't really need the balance,

495
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 1: and a lot of us do. So it's it's just

496
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 1: like what what one person needs to.

497
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 2: Another, Yeah, one hundred percent, And in your pursuit of

498
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 2: this next level play in the years that you have left,

499
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 2: you know, really going after it day in and day out,

500
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 2: there certainly are going to be days when you're tired.

501
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 3: Despite being very clear on what your goals are.

502
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 2: For someone who may have a goal of their own,

503
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 2: what do you tell them to keep them motivated on

504
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 2: the days where they really feel like it's getting to

505
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 2: be a little too much.

506
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: You know, there's so many different things that I love

507
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: thinking about. I guess for me, one of them was

508
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: always like, you know, there's someone else out there that's

509
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: like battling for that spot or for you know, whatever

510
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: dream you're trying to accomplish, Like are you going to

511
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 1: let them have it rather than you? Like you feel

512
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: tired today, or you feel sore or whatever, but like,

513
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: are you going to regret not doing something today because

514
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: of that feeling you just said you're too tired, I'm

515
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: going to stay on the couch. I'm going to do this,

516
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna rest today. Like that always gets in

517
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: my head and I always get pissed off that like

518
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: someone's going to come in and take my spot, and

519
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 1: it's just it's something it's something that I always put

520
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: in my head. But I'm like, I have to do

521
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: more than that next person. And maybe there isn't that person,

522
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: but it's like I'd rather have that so that I

523
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: have that motivation. And and then my other thing is

524
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: just like like if you love what you're doing so much,

525
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: like you will you will continue to work as hard

526
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: as possible at it. And I think it's like I

527
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: always say this on when I'm giving advice or whatever,

528
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: just like, don't fall out of love with what you're doing.

529
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,360
Speaker 1: And if you if you stay in that like that mindset,

530
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: like you will love working hard. You will love doing

531
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: the fitness, You'll love doing the extra trainings. Like I

532
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: know there's some players that hate training, they just love games,

533
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: and I get it, But I love training so much

534
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,880
Speaker 1: because that's my preparation for the game. And I think

535
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: that's what keeps me going.

536
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 2: And I truly think that what I'm hearing you say

537
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 2: here is that the journey has truly become the destination

538
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 2: for you. Like you have been doing this for a

539
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 2: minute now, and you do it well because you enjoy

540
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:26,120
Speaker 2: the process, right and not to you know, shade anyone

541
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 2: who lives for game day, but realistically, your approach is

542
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,919
Speaker 2: going to be the approach that makes this sustainable for sure.

543
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 1: You know. That's the funny thing is like I always

544
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: fight with again, my coaches are high performance when they're like,

545
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: we need you to take just one exture rest day,

546
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: like you need a rest day, and I'm like, no,

547
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: this is my preparation for the game. And I have

548
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: to fight with them about it NonStop, and usually I lose.

549
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: But it's what you just said that is like, that

550
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: is out how my mindset works and how I look

551
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: at it.

552
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 3: But I love you saying maybe it's me.

553
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 2: Usually I lose, but realistically, are you losing if you're

554
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 2: giving your body what it needs exactly?

555
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: You're right?

556
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 3: Oh man, So what does recovery look like for you?

557
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: Typically a lot of my time I have, you know,

558
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: my Norman tech boots. I use massage as like one

559
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: of my biggest recoveries. I think a lot of people

560
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: think of a massage like, oh my gosh, you're so lucky.

561
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 1: You're just getting like going to a spa having a

562
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: massage like these massage is hurt, but they are like,

563
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: it's what keeps my body going. We have you know,

564
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: cryotherapy at our facility and ice bath, hot bath like

565
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: things like this, So I'm doing like whatever I possibly can.

566
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 2: Taking a break from today's episode to give some love

Speaker 2: for myself a nice glass of wine, grab my Norma

Speaker 2: checkout at hyper ice dot com. Again, that's hyper ice

593
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 2: dot com. You were talking earlier about wanting to be

594
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 2: the person that gets chosen right, knowing that there are

595
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 2: so many people that want to be in your position,

596
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 2: but it's up to you to show up and show out.

597
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 2: How does that mentality play in with being someone who's

598
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 2: involved in a team sport.

599
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 3: What is it like for you to be part of

600
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 3: a team.

601
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: For me, it's like what you know every day, how

602
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: I how I approach training, how I walk into the

603
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: locker room, like, how I show up is like how

604
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,719
Speaker 1: I'm showing up for the team. Like it's again we

605
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: can talk about how we said what if you're tired,

606
00:31:58,240 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: what if you feel like you need to rest day,

607
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: like whatever, Like your approach to every single training is

608
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,479
Speaker 1: what the whole team is going to see, and like

609
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: what you're doing on the field of the body language

610
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: like all these things. I think that's the coolest thing

611
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: about being in a team sport is like if you

612
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: are having a rough day, if you're not feeling it whatever,

613
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: and you look at the person next to who's just like,

614
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: come on, like we got this like body language, like

615
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: just such a positive vibe and like wanting to get better.

616
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: Like that, you know, gives me motivation. So I always

617
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: I think that's how I approach like a team sport.

618
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: I think that's that's so cool that you have that ability,

619
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 1: because for an individual sport, like you're the one having

620
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: to continuously motivate yourself and that's really difficult. So I

621
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: think we're lucky and we should utilize that as much

622
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: as possible.

623
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, beyond the team aspect of it, clearly the sport

624
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 2: has given you many near and dear female friendships. Chat

625
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,959
Speaker 2: with me a little bit about how those have impacted you.

626
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 2: What does having so many strong women around you regularly

627
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 2: do for you personally?

628
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: Oh, it's been incredible, you know. I have so many,

629
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: so many teammates, so many friends all over the world

630
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 1: that you know, some are so much older than me

631
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 1: that I've looked up to, that are veterans of the

632
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:23,479
Speaker 1: game that are like my role models, but also are

633
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: my friends like my older sisters. I have friends that

634
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: are you know my age that we've gone through all

635
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: of the same things together and come up through the

636
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: national team together. And that's a really exciting process because

637
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: you bond like no one else goes through the same

638
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: thing as you guys are going through, so you bond

639
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: so much over that. And then you have like the

640
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: young guns coming through and that's so exciting for me

641
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: because you get to see them go through the process

642
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: that you went through at the beginning of your career

643
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: and you get to help and share your experience and

644
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: things like this. It's just like, you don't get this

645
00:33:55,880 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: anywhere else that teammate experienced exposure French like, it just

646
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: bonds you in such a different way. And yeah, it's

647
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: it's truly incredible.

648
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 2: And it's not just these friendships and that you know

649
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 2: on the field that you're interacting, you're all also fighting

650
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 2: for people to recognize you and give you, you know,

651
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 2: the props that you so dearly deserve.

652
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 3: I know that the US women's national team, they.

653
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:27,879
Speaker 2: Generated more revenue than the US men's national team from

654
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen through twenty eighteen and beyond. So where are

655
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 2: we standing right now in the fight for equal pay?

656
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 1: Well, obviously our national team has been on the forefront

657
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: of that, and I think you look back at all

658
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: the members of the team and what we fought for

659
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,240
Speaker 1: and where we are at now, I think it's truly

660
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: so incredible. So I think in terms of the US

661
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,320
Speaker 1: women's national team, it's gotten to such a such a

662
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: great place. I think we are still fighting in the

663
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: NBUSL and I know that's it's difficult for me to

664
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 1: say because I'm not there right now, but in terms

665
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:03,280
Speaker 1: of contracts, in terms of salaries or whatever, they're improving,

666
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: the salary caps going up, and I think it needs

667
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 1: to continue like that because if you still compare and

668
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 1: in the leagues in the US, it's not entirely the same,

669
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: but you see it progressively getting better. So I think

670
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,800
Speaker 1: it's it's getting there. And I think you can also see,

671
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: you know, what we spoke about earlier with the brands,

672
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: Like you see so many of my teammates all over

673
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: the place, and that's you know, like commercials, billboards, you know,

674
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 1: if we talk about Adidas where in the Adidas stores,

675
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: Like I get pictures all the time showing my face

676
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 1: or trends face and things like this, and it's just

677
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 1: that's such a really cool thing because before it was

678
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 1: not like this, you know, and I think it's so special,

679
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 1: but it's what we deserve and what these players deserve

680
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: for working so hard every single day. It's doing the

681
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: same things as our male counterparts.

682
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 2: It would be I would be remiss if I didn't

683
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 2: acknowledge that clearly women's sports right now is really on

684
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:57,240
Speaker 2: the opposite.

685
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 3: It's having a moment.

686
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 2: I couldn't be more amped as someone who identifies as

687
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 2: an athlete in her own right, but obviously not on

688
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 2: the level that you are. With that said, how does

689
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:09,919
Speaker 2: it feel to be a woman in sport right now

690
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 2: watching what's happening within the media and the rally behind

691
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 2: women to get the attention and again the pay that

692
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 2: they deserve.

693
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm I mean, it's it's incredible. And I'm an athlete.

694
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 1: I love watching all sports. I love watching men, I

695
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 1: love watching women, et cetera, et cetera. And it's like

696
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: it's not like I'm like throwing out the men now.

697
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 1: It's just like we're actually getting the exposure that we deserve.

698
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 1: And that's over so many different sports. You know. I

699
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 1: turn on Sports Center and we're talking about the women's

700
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: basketball more than more than I've ever heard of my life,

701
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: and NonStop, like NonStop, and I was just like, this

702
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: is this is incredible and even like for me, like

703
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: I didn't have very much knowledge on just like the

704
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: college women's game for basketball, and now it was just

705
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: like a NonStop thing where I like could not take

706
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 1: my eyes off the TV. And luckily I was in

707
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: the US at the time that the tournament was going

708
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: on and I could actually watch. I was so thankful

709
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: because otherwise it's three am my time. But you know that,

710
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 1: and I'm a woman and like that's a cool thing.

711
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: So now you think about all the men that are

712
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: now seeing this as well, and it's just like they're invested.

713
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: It's it's incredible. So yeah, I again, it's how it

714
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:25,879
Speaker 1: should be. It's how it should be, and it continues

715
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 1: and it needs to continue. But it is really special

716
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 1: to see and to be a part of that in

717
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 1: this you know, day and age and for everything that

718
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: we fought for before, especially with our national team, you

719
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: feel like this sense of I don't know, you know,

720
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,839
Speaker 1: we did something and we helped in some way, and

721
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: now you see all this happening. It's it's really special.

722
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it all builds together.

723
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 2: One piece of the puzzle contributes to another piece of

724
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 2: the puzzle, and before you know it, you have like

725
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:55,399
Speaker 2: a masterpiece in.

726
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 3: Front of you. And I think that there's certainly a

727
00:37:58,320 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 3: ways to go. Right now.

728
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:04,320
Speaker 2: There is light being shed on issues and on individuals

729
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,760
Speaker 2: and on talent that has never shown on them before,

730
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 2: and so together in some way through you know, different medians,

731
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 2: whether it's you coming out of podcast like this, me

732
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 2: interviewing people to get their stories out.

733
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 3: You know, we all have the opportunity to contribute.

734
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,760
Speaker 2: And I think the thing that gives me the most

735
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 2: hope is in times like the tournament just now that

736
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 2: happened for March Madness. You see all the videos of

737
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 2: the young girls that are watching other women on TV,

738
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,280
Speaker 2: and oh my god, I lose it every time.

739
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so cute. It's so I saw so many

740
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 1: of those and it's just like wow, it's so special.

741
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 3: It is so special.

742
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: When I was that young girl, like I couldn't I

743
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 1: couldn't watch, you know, like I didn't. I didn't have

744
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 1: like a women's basketball player to look up too, because

745
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: I played basketball, but obviously I went or soccer. But

746
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: I was like that that's so cool for them.

747
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:58,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.

748
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 2: And that is why you are, for so many so inspirational,

749
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 2: right because you have set out and carved your own

750
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 2: path in this way that now when people think of

751
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 2: women's soccer in America, you're arguably one of the names

752
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:13,799
Speaker 2: that they think of.

753
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 3: When I say that to you, how does that make

754
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:16,800
Speaker 3: you feel?

755
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 1: It Like, it still gives me goosebumps. It's so wild.

756
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 1: No matter how long I play, it's hard to like

757
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 1: think of yourself like that. And I've had to like,

758
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: you know, really pegging into my head like this is

759
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: and it's a responsibility as well, because you know, we

760
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: talked about showing up before, but it's also like showing

761
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 1: up for those young athletes that are watching us girls

762
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: and boys. And I saw a little boy with my

763
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,320
Speaker 1: jersey in one of the last games that I was playing,

764
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 1: and that, like that almost brought me into tears because

765
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: I'm just like, there's a little boy that's looking up

766
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:50,799
Speaker 1: to me as well. So I think we've gotten to

767
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 1: this point, and I've gotten to this point where I'm

768
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 1: like I have a responsibility to show up for them

769
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: as well and to be a role model on and

770
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 1: off the pitch, like, obviously, I'm going to play my

771
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 1: game that I play on the field and not change,

772
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 1: you know, who I am, and hopefully that inspires you know,

773
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 1: the young individuals, but off the field, like I need

774
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,399
Speaker 1: to give them what they deserve and show them who

775
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 1: I am and hopefully be a role model and being

776
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 1: the person I am. So that's again, it's it's such

777
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 1: a such a special feeling and I can't really explain it,

778
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,800
Speaker 1: but yeah, it's such a cool responsibility.

779
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 2: As well, all because you're pursuing something that brings you

780
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,720
Speaker 2: so much joy, which is truly so special. You said

781
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 2: the buzzwords role model. Clearly, you're a leader both on

782
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 2: the US women's national team and beyond that as a

783
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 2: captain there.

784
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 3: What does it mean for you to be a leader?

785
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 2: What do you think are important qualities to possess or

786
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 2: embody as you kind of step up in the forefront, you.

787
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,240
Speaker 1: Know, for me, like going through this new role. Obviously

788
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: I was named the captain before the World Cup, and

789
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 1: it came really quick. I always just thought to myself

790
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 1: that I don't want to change, you know, who I am,

791
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 1: but also just bring out more of the leadership parts

792
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 1: of me that I felt like maybe we're hiding or

793
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: maybe I couldn't bring out if I wasn't the captain,

794
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: and that's not necessarily the case. I think it was

795
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 1: just in just a weird thing inside of me. I

796
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 1: think for me, it's more like again showing up every

797
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,839
Speaker 1: single day and like you can't really turn off. And

798
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:21,360
Speaker 1: again it's such a crazy responsibility, but a really special

799
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: one because everyone's looking to you. You have a huge responsibility,

800
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 1: and you need to keep a support system around you

801
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,360
Speaker 1: to like help you through that, which I've learned very

802
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 1: very quickly in my national team role, but just to

803
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 1: keep inspiring and be a voice for everyone, I think,

804
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 1: especially in the team setting, like you need to be

805
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 1: a voice for your team and have that relationship with

806
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 1: your coaching staff as well and the head coach. You know,

807
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 1: that's massive, it's vital. But again, it's like when you're

808
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 1: the captain of the US w meeen's national team, it's

809
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 1: just so it's so big, So it's so massive, and

810
00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 1: everyone looks to you. And I think of, you know,

811
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: the captains in the past and what they've stood for

812
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 1: and the things that they've they've done, but more so

813
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 1: just their play in general, like that's that's my responsibility.

814
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 3: What does Lindsay stand for.

815
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: I think I my number one thing I stand for

816
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: is to you know, no dream is too big. I

817
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 1: think that's the my biggest thing, is like, you could

818
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 1: put so much work and so much effort in and

819
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:33,319
Speaker 1: you can achieve anything that you want to achieve. But

820
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: I also just I want to be a good person,

821
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:37,799
Speaker 1: and I want to be inclusive, and I want to

822
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 1: make everyone better on and off the field and be

823
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,800
Speaker 1: that person everyone looks up to and and help people

824
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 1: enjoy as well. I think there's so many things in there,

825
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 1: but again it's it's just I want to be me

826
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 1: and make sure everyone remains themselves and I think that's

827
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 1: a big part of our national team as well. It

828
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: is just like allowing that that feeling that you can

829
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:05,359
Speaker 1: be yourself and you're comfortable in yourself. So yeah, that's

830
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:05,839
Speaker 1: that's me.

831
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 2: I'm impressed with. I mean, there were a lot of

832
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 2: words in there, but it feels as though you're very

833
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:14,319
Speaker 2: clear on what it is that you stand for. And

834
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 2: I think that someone listening to this right now may

835
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 2: be like, Wow, like, how did.

836
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 3: You get to this point where you're like so clear

837
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 3: on this?

838
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:24,880
Speaker 2: So I'm going to ask you, like, did you reflect

839
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:26,799
Speaker 2: on what it is that you stand for when you

840
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 2: were presented with this opportunity? Was it reflecting on where

841
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 2: you've come from? Like how did you dial into kind

842
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 2: of your personal mission statement as you're in this role?

843
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: Now? You know, it's funny. I think it didn't actually

844
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:45,359
Speaker 1: dial into me until after the twenty nineteen World Cup.

845
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember what age I had there. But

846
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 1: I started working with a a sports psychologist. His name

847
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 1: is Darren Treasure, and he's been so crucial for me.

848
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 1: And it's like these conversations happen a lot, you know,

849
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 1: on this object. And it wasn't necessarily just you know,

850
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 1: working on my mental game and how I approach every

851
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: training and game and whatever. It's just like who is Lindsay?

852
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: Like who's Lindsay as a player? Who's Lindsay as a person?

853
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 1: Like what do I want to be? What do I

854
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 1: want to still achieve? And like short term goals, long

855
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 1: term all of these kind of things, but like who

856
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 1: really is Lindsay? And diving into that was like really

857
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 1: hard and I remember like the exact moment I did

858
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:27,400
Speaker 1: it and writing it down in my notebook and I

859
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: couldn't take my pen off the paper because I had

860
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 1: so many things to get out. And then it you know,

861
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,880
Speaker 1: you read it and you look at it and you're like, wow,

862
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: this is like, this is who I want to be

863
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 1: and I'm not allowing myself to do all of that.

864
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 1: And I think so over the past five six years

865
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:46,399
Speaker 1: that you know, I've been working and working with him,

866
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 1: I've really I've been able to do this and figure

867
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:53,240
Speaker 1: out who Lindsay is and who I want to continue

868
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 1: to be. And that's so I encourage anyone, anyone to do. That.

869
00:44:58,160 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean you have to go work with a sports

870
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:01,880
Speaker 1: sect figure it out, but you know, those kind of

871
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:05,360
Speaker 1: things to keep your mind going. I think that's why

872
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 1: I'm so comfortable in that that feeling.

873
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,760
Speaker 2: Now, Yeah, I think in order to excel or dial

874
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 2: in on your goals at any given moment, you have

875
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 2: to be willing to meet yourself with where you're at,

876
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 2: and oftentimes that means sitting with thoughts that you haven't

877
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 2: given air previously. Right, So you sat down and got

878
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 2: really clear on who you are. And that wasn't something

879
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 2: that just happened in like fifteen seconds. It was like, oh, here,

880
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 2: I am sitting with this notebook and now I can

881
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 2: write down exactly who I am. It's like, no, like

882
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 2: you have to sit with the feelings that maybe you

883
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 2: haven't allowed yourself to feel, the thoughts that you haven't

884
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 2: allowed yourself to speak right, And in doing that and

885
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:46,240
Speaker 2: getting uncomfortable and giving yourself that air, that grace, that space,

886
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 2: you then can kind of make waves forward to who

887
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 2: it is that you want to be and what it

888
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 2: is that you want to achieve.

889
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 3: Entirely.

890
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 1: If you look back at that notebook, you'll see like

891
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: some droplets where I was like crying too, and it's

892
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 1: like it was so cool. It was like such an

893
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 1: emotional thing. But I was like, anytime I look back

894
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 1: at on, I'm like, this is incredible.

895
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 2: Incredible, incredible, and it's done so much for you. Right now,

896
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 2: we're in an Olympic year, there's a lot going on,

897
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:18,720
Speaker 2: and again you're playing back where your professional career started.

898
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:21,879
Speaker 2: Talk to me a little bit about your emotional your

899
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 2: mental state right now as we head into such a

900
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 2: big summer.

901
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:30,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's all over the place. Well, first off, it's

902
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 1: hard because you're finishing out a season here with Leon.

903
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 1: We have this semi final second leg left of Champions

904
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:40,359
Speaker 1: League and then hopefully a final. So my focus is

905
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:43,840
Speaker 1: like it's mainly on that. Obviously, you have the Olympics

906
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 1: in the back of your mind and there's a team

907
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:48,680
Speaker 1: to make there and a roster to make, and I

908
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:51,359
Speaker 1: think for me it's it's very exciting. It's back here

909
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 1: in France. Obviously, it's kind of my second home and

910
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 1: just another opportunity this summer to show who the US is.

911
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,359
Speaker 1: But I think right now it's kind of like what

912
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 1: can I do on a daily basis and on a

913
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:07,920
Speaker 1: daily basis with my team here in Leone to prepare

914
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 1: myself and hopefully make that team and hopefully go to

915
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 1: another Olympics.

916
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:15,319
Speaker 2: You said there's a team to make, a roster to make.

917
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:17,920
Speaker 2: What does that process look like for those that are unaware.

918
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 1: So, the Olympic roster is a lot smaller than a

919
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:24,720
Speaker 1: World Cup roster. It's only eighteen, which means two keepers

920
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:29,319
Speaker 1: and sixteen field players. You do have four alternates that

921
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 1: come but are not technically a part of the team.

922
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:35,320
Speaker 1: It's not like the last Olympics where you can swap,

923
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 1: so it makes it a lot more difficult than a

924
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:42,279
Speaker 1: twenty three man roster. So yeah, we have a camp

925
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 1: at the end of May and then another pre camp

926
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 1: prior to heading off. I'm not exactly positive when the

927
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 1: final roster is named, but I'm assuming it will be

928
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:55,839
Speaker 1: a bit after this May camp coming up. So yeah,

929
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,880
Speaker 1: it's exciting times, but it's difficult times because my gosh,

930
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 1: the depth that we have women's national team makes it

931
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:04,840
Speaker 1: so difficult to name a name a eighteen man roster.

932
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, entirely, and the emotions that go hand in hand

933
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:12,440
Speaker 2: with that. Knowing that because the talent is so widespread,

934
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 2: you like want the best for everyone. But this goes

935
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 2: back to what you were saying about, like you also

936
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 2: wanted to be you.

937
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's such a hard thing to feel in

938
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,640
Speaker 1: your head. Obviously, there's so many players that have been

939
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 1: fighting for this roster, maybe that have made the World

940
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 1: Cup team last year that might not make the Olympic roster.

941
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 1: Like that's just how it goes in it it's back

942
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 1: to the professional world. It's like you're fighting for a

943
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:43,880
Speaker 1: roster and you might be fighting against a friend or

944
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 1: a team that you played with for a really long time,

945
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 1: and that's how it goes. But there's so much support

946
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 1: for every single one of us, and I think we

947
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:53,400
Speaker 1: go about it in the best way possible. But the

948
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 1: end of the day, like, we got to do our thing,

949
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 1: we got to make that roster, and yeah, we will

950
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:00,760
Speaker 1: be there for for everyone.

951
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:04,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, talk to me about that support and how you

952
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:05,880
Speaker 2: navigate this pressure.

953
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 3: Where do you lean into, who do you look to?

954
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:12,800
Speaker 2: How are you supported as you're in pursuit of these big,

955
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 2: lofty goals this year.

956
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 1: Well, you know, it's funny. I think a lot of

957
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 1: people lean into me more lately, which actually takes a

958
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 1: lot of the pressure off of me. How sad like

959
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:27,759
Speaker 1: the pressure off of myself. I think, again, this is

960
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:29,920
Speaker 1: what we talked about before. I feel like a lot

961
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:33,439
Speaker 1: of people are coming to me for advice or things

962
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 1: that they're going through on a daily basis, especially with

963
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 1: the Women's Natural team, And it's almost like this comforting

964
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 1: feeling because I was there at one point and I

965
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:42,279
Speaker 1: know what it's like and I know that experience, and

966
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 1: I can help as much as possible and give words

967
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,759
Speaker 1: as much as possible, and it takes a bit away

968
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:50,360
Speaker 1: from like maybe my stress or my pressure like to

969
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 1: perform and you know, to make the roster as well.

970
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 1: Obviously that that will always be there. You can't take

971
00:49:56,680 --> 00:50:00,040
Speaker 1: anything for granted. And there's you no matter who I

972
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 1: I am, if I'm the captain if not. You know,

973
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 1: I have a spot that like I need to, you know,

974
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 1: work my ass off for so and making sure everyone

975
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:13,239
Speaker 1: on the team knows that this is grind time, you know.

976
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 1: But I obviously I have my people back home, Like

977
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:19,760
Speaker 1: if I need, I have my fiance, I have my parents,

978
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:21,879
Speaker 1: I have my sports hyke, Like I have a lot

979
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:24,400
Speaker 1: of people that I lean on. I keep it a

980
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 1: smaller circle. But obviously, like there are those times that

981
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 1: you get drained and you need them and they've been

982
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 1: so crucial for me in my life.

983
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 3: So and you have to put your oxygen mask on,

984
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 3: you know.

985
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 2: Like I have a friend that's going through some really

986
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:43,880
Speaker 2: hard stuff right now with his family and some medical stuff,

987
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 2: and I said to him, like, as a strong friend,

988
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:49,920
Speaker 2: it's me, I'm the strong friend, and you're also the

989
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:52,280
Speaker 2: strong friend. Like you need to get to a place

990
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:56,240
Speaker 2: sometimes where you allow yourself to feel to like open

991
00:50:56,320 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 2: up to the different emotions that maybe you're not recognizing

992
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 2: because you're so busy trying to keep your shit together.

993
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's a that is like a tough thing,

994
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 1: because sometimes it's really helpful, and then sometimes you're like

995
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:12,879
Speaker 1: you're about to blow up because you have so much

996
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:15,560
Speaker 1: in your head that you haven't allowed yourself to feel

997
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 1: those feelings. Like you say, so it will all come.

998
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 3: Out, It'll all come out.

999
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:22,239
Speaker 2: And what I'm hearing you say also is that by

1000
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:25,120
Speaker 2: being this person that other people can lean on and

1001
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:27,239
Speaker 2: like allowing them to come to you and helping them

1002
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:31,439
Speaker 2: through their situations, it's also in turn helping you as

1003
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:34,759
Speaker 2: a leader. Yeah, it's reminding you what you're capable of.

1004
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:37,479
Speaker 2: It's reminding you where you've been. And sometimes when we're

1005
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:40,360
Speaker 2: busy going after our goals, like and we get we

1006
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 2: get a little bit lost in the journey. And for

1007
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 2: you to be able to be in this position now

1008
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 2: where you can offer advice, it gives you this opportunity

1009
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 2: to really do a lot of reflection and reminds you

1010
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:51,879
Speaker 2: candidly who the hell you are.

1011
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, what you said it perfectly Mike on a podcast.

1012
00:51:57,400 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 1: My gosh, I don't have to say anymore on that.

1013
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:04,640
Speaker 2: And then I mean, in terms of support, does anything

1014
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 2: shift with the brands you're working with in an Olympic year?

1015
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 2: Do you have more commitments. How does that make you feel?

1016
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:12,279
Speaker 2: Talk to me a little bit about that.

1017
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:17,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think well, first and foremost, during a World

1018
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:19,760
Speaker 1: Cup or an Olympic gear things get a lot heavier

1019
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:23,680
Speaker 1: and with all of your brands and you know, things

1020
00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:25,759
Speaker 1: that you're pulled into and things that you have to do.

1021
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 1: But obviously that's also in turn a really great things.

1022
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:33,239
Speaker 1: It shows you know, the people that are invested in you,

1023
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 1: the brands that are invested in you, and that's just

1024
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 1: like amazing. This is like, this is when you should

1025
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:41,960
Speaker 1: be seen. This is when we should show some of

1026
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 1: the best players in the world and all over the place.

1027
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,279
Speaker 1: And you know, it was really cool. I saw an

1028
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:49,719
Speaker 1: Adidas ad the other day, you know, showing women in

1029
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:53,520
Speaker 1: sport and talking about, you know, the young females that

1030
00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:56,719
Speaker 1: are dropping out a sport more frequently than the young

1031
00:52:56,800 --> 00:53:00,400
Speaker 1: male and and it's like then you see, you know,

1032
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:03,279
Speaker 1: a picture of a young female with you know, all

1033
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:06,399
Speaker 1: of these professional women. I think that's just it's very

1034
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:09,799
Speaker 1: inspiring to see and probably really inspiring for a young

1035
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 1: individual to look at and see all over the social media.

1036
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:16,880
Speaker 1: So it's like it's things like this, we're around an

1037
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:18,880
Speaker 1: Olympic year, We're around a World Cup year and you

1038
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 1: see all of these ads and brands, you know, pulling

1039
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:24,839
Speaker 1: out things like this. This is that's where it's really

1040
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 1: special and obviously you get the most reach and people

1041
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:31,399
Speaker 1: seeing it. So yeah, this is this is big time

1042
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 1: and it's the perfect time of the year.

1043
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:37,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, you mentioned going into energy to store and seeing

1044
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:41,520
Speaker 2: yourself obviously not the first time that's happened. Do you

1045
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:45,000
Speaker 2: remember where you were or how it felt the first

1046
00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 2: time that you saw yourself amplified in that way.

1047
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:54,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, it might have been Portland. My first time at

1048
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:59,880
Speaker 1: the Adida's headquarters in Portland, I saw a really large

1049
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:03,279
Speaker 1: picture of me on the outside and I was like,

1050
00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:05,239
Speaker 1: I had no idea it was there. No one said

1051
00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:07,560
Speaker 1: anything to me or whatever, but I was just like,

1052
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 1: there's no way that's me, and I'm next to like

1053
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:13,919
Speaker 1: I think it was Damian Lillard at the time. It's

1054
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:17,719
Speaker 1: just like a massive obviously NBA star and Adidas star,

1055
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:22,719
Speaker 1: and I'm just like, I'm next to him on this

1056
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:26,840
Speaker 1: this building, Like that's insane. So that was that was

1057
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 1: probably one of the first times.

1058
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:30,440
Speaker 3: Wild, absolutely wild.

1059
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:33,560
Speaker 2: Right now, speaking of what you see, someone comes to

1060
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 2: your Instagram page, there's something like near four hundred thousand

1061
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:41,200
Speaker 2: followers there. They see an Adidas athlete, a professional soccer player.

1062
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:44,200
Speaker 2: But when Lindsay looks in the mirror, what is it

1063
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 2: that Lindsay sees looking back at her.

1064
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:56,239
Speaker 1: Oh, that's such a hard question. I guess this isn't

1065
00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:59,040
Speaker 1: gonna help. But I think it depends on, you know,

1066
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 1: the day and the time. I think. Obviously a lot

1067
00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:05,279
Speaker 1: of the time I'm getting ready and I'm looking at

1068
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:08,239
Speaker 1: the mirror, like I think about, you know, what I'm

1069
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 1: about to go do and who I am. And again

1070
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:13,319
Speaker 1: it's something that I've worked on for a long time.

1071
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 1: I usually look in the mirror and say something as

1072
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:18,480
Speaker 1: lame as it sounds, but talk about like I am

1073
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:22,600
Speaker 1: a leader, I am Lindsay heran, I am a positive

1074
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:25,040
Speaker 1: person or I am going to be positive today, like

1075
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:27,319
Speaker 1: things like this, this is who I see. And then

1076
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:30,160
Speaker 1: a lot of the time I'm like, I look at

1077
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:34,200
Speaker 1: myself and I think about that young Lindsay that you know,

1078
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:39,040
Speaker 1: was inspiring and inspired to be the person I am today,

1079
00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:42,680
Speaker 1: and I think about her so often because it's it's

1080
00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:45,680
Speaker 1: such a cool thing to reflect on, like thinking about

1081
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:48,880
Speaker 1: that little Lindsay that dreamt of, you know, playing professional

1082
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 1: soccer and dreamt of playing for the US women's national

1083
00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:54,719
Speaker 1: team one day. Like, that's always who I think of

1084
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:57,880
Speaker 1: when I'm like, I'm gonna go be my best for

1085
00:55:57,920 --> 00:55:58,440
Speaker 1: her today.

1086
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:02,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's so fat and it's so special to have

1087
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:06,600
Speaker 2: dreamt about the life you're living right now. I have

1088
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:09,719
Speaker 2: this sign in my office that says, remember when you

1089
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 2: wanted what you have right now, And it always helps

1090
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 2: me kind of dial in and come back to self

1091
00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:19,359
Speaker 2: and remember that I'm doing things now as are you

1092
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:22,840
Speaker 2: that you only dreamed about, and things as well that

1093
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:25,600
Speaker 2: you never dreamed about, right, And it's an opportunity we

1094
00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:28,440
Speaker 2: have every day to continue to make that younger version

1095
00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 2: of our self proud in the process.

1096
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:33,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, it makes me emotional.

1097
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:36,319
Speaker 2: It makes me emotional too. Yeah, it makes me emotional too.

1098
00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:38,839
Speaker 2: I do want to ask you. You talked about these

1099
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:41,640
Speaker 2: im statements, which I think are so powerful and certainly

1100
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:43,840
Speaker 2: a tool that I've used in the past for someone

1101
00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:47,719
Speaker 2: that might be struggling with a sense of self with

1102
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 2: feeling empowered in their body. Do you have any advice

1103
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:54,400
Speaker 2: for that person to be working on that inner dialogue

1104
00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:57,239
Speaker 2: in a way that can be productive instead of detrimental.

1105
00:56:58,000 --> 00:56:59,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. You know, when I first started working on it

1106
00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:03,040
Speaker 1: with my sports, it was back to like who Lindsay

1107
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:05,000
Speaker 1: is or who Lindsay wants to be, or like what

1108
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:06,759
Speaker 1: things that you want to change in that, And I

1109
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:09,120
Speaker 1: think a lot of it was like I want to

1110
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 1: be positive every day even if I'm having a bad day.

1111
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:14,799
Speaker 1: I want to be a leader. I want to you know.

1112
00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:16,160
Speaker 1: One of them was like I want to have a

1113
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 1: not give a you know what attitude where it's like

1114
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 1: even something goes wrong or you coach, you're screaming at

1115
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:25,480
Speaker 1: you whatever, like it's kind of like, okay, move on

1116
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:28,680
Speaker 1: to the next thing. And I'm just like this seems

1117
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 1: so dumb, Like I'm sitting in the mirror like saying

1118
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:33,560
Speaker 1: these things to myself. But it was it's actually so

1119
00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:37,280
Speaker 1: wild when you write them down. Like there was five

1120
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 1: of them that I would write write down, and then

1121
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:42,440
Speaker 1: I go to the mirror and I actually got like

1122
00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:44,000
Speaker 1: a marker. He told me to get a marker, write

1123
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 1: him down on my mirror, and so I would sit

1124
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:47,440
Speaker 1: there and I would read them to myself and I

1125
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:49,840
Speaker 1: had to repeat him five times, and I'm like, I

1126
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 1: can't believe this guy's making me do this, And then

1127
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 1: the more it was happening, the more it was kind

1128
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:57,800
Speaker 1: of set in my head and it was a reminder.

1129
00:57:57,840 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 1: So like I would go out to training and I

1130
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 1: remember I'm like, I'm like, I was about to be

1131
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:06,000
Speaker 1: negative about something, and I said, wait, I said, I'm

1132
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:09,480
Speaker 1: going to be positive today, and I'm like, oh my god,

1133
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:11,920
Speaker 1: it's actually working. So then it was just like I

1134
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 1: actually believed in it, and I the more and more

1135
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:17,880
Speaker 1: I thought, you know about all these you know, different

1136
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:20,840
Speaker 1: things affirmations that I'm saying, I'm like, oh my gosh,

1137
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:23,760
Speaker 1: it's actually working. And like to this day, I still

1138
00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:26,160
Speaker 1: know those five affirmations that I have in my notes

1139
00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:29,280
Speaker 1: are still in my notes, and sometimes they change based

1140
00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:31,920
Speaker 1: on like, you know, what my goal is for that

1141
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:34,600
Speaker 1: year or things that I like. Obviously, being captain has

1142
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 1: been a massive thing. So the leadership thing has been

1143
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:40,880
Speaker 1: been huge for me. But it's incredible. It's incredible, like

1144
00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:42,880
Speaker 1: the self talk, like what it does for you, and

1145
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:46,120
Speaker 1: some people just don't truly believe in it, and I

1146
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:47,960
Speaker 1: was one of them. And I'm telling you right now

1147
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 1: that it's it's a massive, massive thing.

1148
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:53,360
Speaker 3: Will you share some of those with us? The affirmations.

1149
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:57,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I am a leader was one of them.

Speaker 1: I'm going to be positive today, I'm going to have

1151
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:04,800
Speaker 1: a not gift the attitude I'm going to enjoy and
