29
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: Phillips was understandably a little overwhelmed and at a loss

30
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: for words after the win.

31

88
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: she never expects to be back to one hundred percent

89
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:51,520

90
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: and without Hal Hirschfeldt and without Casey Krueger, the Spirits

91
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: still manage to win their match against the Orlando Pride

92
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: on Saturday one nil, handing the Pride their first law

93
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,640

00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: scored by Spirit rookie Gift Monday, who was signed by

95
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,479

Speaker 1: Dleen's goal in Seattle's one nail victory over the Portland Thorns.

100

00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 2: We got to take a quick break. When we come back.

103
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 2: It's Angelina Anderson.

104
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,320

Speaker 1: loss of the season.

107
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 2: Are we bad luck? I say no, but Angel City

108
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 2: might feel otherwise. Stick around joining us now.

109
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: She's the keeper of Angel Cities, Hopes and Dreams aka,

111
00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 1: first US.

112
00:05:58,800 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 2: National team call up.

113
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: A Berkeley grad who was a team captain her sophomore, junior,

114
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: and senior seasons in college, her mom was a track star,

115
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: her dad was a football player, and her middle name

116
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: is Dora. It's Angelina Anderson. How often do you get

117
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: Dora the Explorer?

118
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 2: Just all the time?

119
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 3: I got that a lot growing up in like elementary school.

120
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 3: People thought that was really really funny. Now I don't mind,

121
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 3: but only only special people know my middle name.

122
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 2: So now all of our.

123
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:33,239
Speaker 1: Listeners, Yeah, a really nice start for your Angel City

124
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: club to to and o sitting in fourth in the league.

125
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 2: What's going well for you guys?

126
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean I am so proud of us. I'm

127
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 3: so excited. Been a great start. Like you said, it

128
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 3: just feels great to be undefeated. Honestly, I think the

129
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 3: team's just really together. Like we've had a lot of

130
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 3: moving parts, and obviously with some interim positions and new

131
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 3: people coming in and new players coming in, but it's

132
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 3: been like a seamless transition, and I just kind of

133
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 3: have an impression that no matter what's going on outside

134
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 3: in the world or external forces, like, if your team's together,

135
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 3: you can get through a lot. So I just feel

136
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 3: like we've got a really good vibe in the locker

137
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 3: room right now, and we're all kind of just like

138
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 3: riding off of each performance and hoping that the next

139
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 3: one's better. You know.

140
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that.

141
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: I actually was recently talking to a retired player and

142
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: it was that conversation about vibes that, yeah, of course

143
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: you need skill, and of course you need structure, but

144
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: there's something about a magic between teammates that if it's

145
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: happening early in the season, just like the intangibles and

146
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: the things you almost can't describe, happen, and it keeps

147
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: you united through the tough times and keeps you together

148
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: when people are frustrated. That's just it's so important, and

149
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: that's really special to have with a team that does

150
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: have some things in flux. After a pretty lengthy search

151
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: going on since last December, you just announced a new

152
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: coach and Alexander Strauss.

153
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 2: He won't be here yet.

154
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: He's going to leave German squad Byron Munich and come

155
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: in June, but has had a lot of success with

156
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: them since twenty twenty two out there.

157
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 2: What do you know about him? If anything?

158
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 3: Not much, pretty much basically what you've just said. Obviously,

159
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 3: the team was told and we got kind of a

160
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 3: brief synopsis. I think it was nice to hear from

161
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 3: management their confidence in him and that throughout the search,

162
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 3: one of the big priorities was finding like a winner,

163
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 3: you know, who has proven time and time again that

164
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 3: they can win in big moments, and so I think

165
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 3: we all love to hear that from him, and it's exciting.

166
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 3: But at the same time, like, I'm just proud of

167
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 3: our groups. I guess kind of mentality and ability to

168
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 3: like take that big news that we got and then

169
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 3: still be like, Okay, well that's coming in June. We

170
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 3: got a game to win tomorrow, you right, we're keeping

171
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 3: We're keeping this bus roll in and we'll see you

172
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 3: in June. So yeah, I think yeah. I think it's

173
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 3: been a really really great conversations and good vibe after

174
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 3: hearing the news exciting.

175
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: How has it been playing under Sam Sam Lady your

176
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: interim coach, knowing he's not going to stay on his

177
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: head coach but will be around. Does it feel any

178
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: different than any other year when you've got a full

179
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: time coach in place?

180
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 3: Not necessarily. I think you kind of you act under

181
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 3: the guys that this is your head coach and he's

182
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 3: kind of setting our style of play and leading the ship.

183
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 3: And I think Sam's done a really good job with

184
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 3: that of coming in and bringing us together. And obviously

185
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 3: he's been in the league for a while, so he

186
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 3: knows how this league works. And I think that's definitely shown.

187
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 3: I feel like he has the group together and it

188
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 3: doesn't really feel like he's interim necessary.

189
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know the new coach news is very new,

190
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: but do you have any indication about whether they'll start

191
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: to try to have your new coach's style or any

192
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: of his impressions transferred to Sam to start you working

193
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 1: on things. Is there going to be a difference between

194
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: Alexander's approach and Sam's in a way that Sam might

195
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: want to start slowly introducing so that when Alexander gets here,

196
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: y'all are already, you know, understanding what kind of approach

197
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 1: he has the game.

198
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 3: Right from what we've been told. Part of that search

199
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 3: was finding somebody who like aligns with the type of

200
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 3: football that Angel City wants to play, that we want

201
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 3: to put in front of the fans, that management wants

202
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 3: us to play, that we have players who can play

203
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 3: this way. So I think that was one of the

204
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 3: big like guiding factors too throughout the hiring process, of like,

205
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,839
Speaker 3: who is somebody that we're aligned with, They're aligned with us,

206
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 3: so we can just play the like, dynamic, exciting football

207
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 3: that we want to play. So I think should be

208
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,719
Speaker 3: should be a pretty smooth transition. You know, you never

209
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 3: know new people and coaches with quirks and stuff. So

210
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 3: I'm excited to see the differences and the similarities and

211
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 3: all that good change coming up.

212
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: Well, on the one hand, it's great that Sam will

213
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: be sticking around to be the senior assistant because he

214
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: knows the team well.

215
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 2: He'll help with the transition.

216
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: It's going to be mid season, so that way Alexander

217
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: doesn't have to come in and just try to figure

218
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: it out himself, but also always to have someone go

219
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: to a position of a little less authority after being

220
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: the head man. Do you have an impression based on

221
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: what you know of Sam of how he'll handle that.

222
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I couldn't imagine that role change for sure, like

223
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 3: it would. I could imagine that you might feel some

224
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 3: type of way about it, But I think Sam has

225
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 3: just shown such professionalism and his goal at the end

226
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 3: of the day is to help us win and to

227
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 3: help us be successful. And I think like overall in

228
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 3: our club, we have that mentality like whatever your role is,

229
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 3: you do it to the best of your ability, and

230
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 3: that's what it's going to take to get us to

231
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 3: win and to be successful. And I have no doubt

232
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 3: that Sam will continue just to bring his quality in

233
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 3: whatever role he takes on.

234
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: You personally have had to deal with a little bit

235
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: of that top of the rung, a little bit back

236
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: and forth. You were drafted twenty seventh overall in twenty

237
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 1: twenty three. You made four regular season appearances. Your rookie

238
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: season started the first playoff game in Angel City, franchise history,

239
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: first rookie and quite some time to get us start

240
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, and then you started the beginning of

241
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: last year, but replaced by did Harcich before resuming the

242
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: starting role again this season.

243
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 2: That's a lot of back and forth for a young career.

244
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: How did you handle that setback last year and stay

245
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: focused and ready in your backup role and make sure

246
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 1: you were still doing your best for the team.

247
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 3: It's definitely a lot of back and forth, and I

248
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 3: think it's really easy to look at, you know, starting

249
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 3: last year and then getting benched, It's easy to see

250
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 3: that as a really like a negative thing. I personally

251
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 3: think that last year will probably be one of the

252
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 3: most valuable years of my professional career for a long

253
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 3: long time, just of learning how to be a pro

254
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 3: when things aren't going your way and how like to

255
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 3: really really own your role and to be the best

256
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 3: version of you regardless of the circumstances. So yeah, it

257
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 3: was definitely challenging. But I think like my ultimate goal

258
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 3: and like desire no matter what position I'm in, is

259
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 3: like I want the team to win, and like when

260
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 3: d D was starting over me like I support the

261
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 3: hell out of d D. Support currently, you know, like,

262
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 3: I just want whoever's on the field to be ready

263
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 3: to go and to smash it, and I'm going to

264
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 3: do whatever I can to get us there. So yeah, challenging,

265
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 3: but I think my own like internal sense of being

266
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 3: a part of something bigger than just myself kind of

267
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 3: took over and that was my like bigger motivation for sure.

268
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: I love that you've actually described last year as the

269
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: biggest year of growth in all your life. I think

270
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: it takes a certain kind of person to be ready

271
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 1: for that moment and to handle it the way you

272
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: have and to realize even in that moment, what an

273
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: opportunity it is, what a learning experience it is. A

274
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: lot of people can look back years later and be like, oh,

275
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: that was good for me, But you seem to have

276
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: had the emotional awareness to do it in the moment.

277
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 2: To what do you attribute that.

278
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 3: I don't know. I've been told that I am wise

279
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 3: beyond my ears. Maybe it's that, yeah, but no, I

280
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 3: just yeah, I think like I had a really good

281
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 3: support system around me too, of people like who lifted

282
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 3: me up and still made me feel valued, and so

283
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 3: I was able to still really feel like I do

284
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 3: impact this team. I make this team better right now.

285
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 3: I need some development. I gotta get my feet under

286
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 3: me a bit more, and I know my time's coming.

287
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 3: I think that was kind of my mindset of just

288
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 3: keep pushing forward. This is a part of it.

289
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, your teammate Alyssa Thompson has been on one lately,

290
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: scoring in three or four Angel City games, lighting it

291
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: up in the national team friendlies. I imagine that facing her

292
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: and training every day has probably helped with you honing

293
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: those skills.

294
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 3: Absolutely. Yeah, like you said, Alyssa is in top form

295
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 3: right now, and I mean she is special, like Alyssa

296
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 3: Thompson is special. And it's funny because her and I

297
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 3: have such a great relationship. We're draft mates, we're roommates

298
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 3: on the road, like Alyssa is my girl. So I'm

299
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 3: so happy to see her being so successful. But yes,

300
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 3: in training, it's just like the best training ever for me.

301
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 3: I mean, you have shifty Alyssa coming at you, and

302
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 3: I just have to say she is way quicker in

303
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 3: person than you guys see on TV. And yeah, it's

304
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 3: it's great being able to train with liss. I think

305
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 3: the thing that's popping into my head right now is

306
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 3: phill score on me or score like a little sneaky

307
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 3: goal on me, And then I see the biggest grin

308
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 3: on her face and she's just running away, just you know, just.

309
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 2: To make that so proud of hers.

310
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, but no, she's special, and I just I mean, yeah,

311
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 3: she's playing at such a high level right now. I'm

312
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 3: so happy for her.

313
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: I love that you also get to spend a lot

314
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: more time with her because you're at US women's national

315
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: team practices together. So you played for the US under

316
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: seventeen and under twenty teams, and then you got your

317
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: first senior national team call up in January of this

318
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: year as a training player, one of a handful of

319
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: keepers that Emma Hayes wants to get a look at.

320
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 2: So how did it feel to get that first call?

321
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I cried. I mean, getting called up

322
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 3: to the senior team has always been like a life

323
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 3: goal of mine, and now it's happened twice this year.

324
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 3: So I'm just like, I mean, I'm overjoyed. I'm honored

325
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 3: just going into that environment. It's like my goal is

326
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 3: just to improve and to smile and take it all

327
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 3: in and be grateful and just like, look, look around

328
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 3: like I'm being coached Byanma Hayes, I'm with Olympians. I'm like,

329
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 3: it's really really special, and yeah, I think just like

330
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 3: immense gratitude and excitement.

331
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's an exciting and interesting time for the US

332
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: women's national team. When it comes to the keeper position,

333
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: it's kind of an unusual moment. There's been this pretty

334
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: clear transition from Brianna Scurry to Hope Solo to a

335
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: listener and now there's.

336
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 2: A real battle for it.

337
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: How has the sort of pod of keepers at national

338
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: camp dealt with the uncertainty around the role.

339
00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 3: That's an interesting question. I think goalkeepers in particular are

340
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 3: pretty good at like creating an environment that's like conducive

341
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 3: to success through challenging each other and supporting each other.

342
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 3: And so I feel like we're all pretty well versed

343
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 3: of like we know that this is like the squad

344
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 3: and at the end of the day, somebody's gonna play

345
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 3: over somebody else. But when I've gone in, it's been

346
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 3: really supportive. Obviously high challenge, and I mean from my perspective,

347
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,199
Speaker 3: like I kind of alluded to it earlier, is like

348
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 3: I'm focused on improving me and improving the group and

349
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 3: whoever steps on the field, let's go. I hope that's

350
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 3: the best one for the team, and they get the

351
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 3: job done. And it was super exciting seeing Fallin get

352
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 3: her first cap, And obviously, like I look up to

353
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 3: Mandy and she's been great to train against and with

354
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 3: and see her thrive too. So it's been it's been

355
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 3: really exciting just to kind of like be in be

356
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 3: in that group, you know, and see like where do

357
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 3: I fit in? Where's is going? And I think things

358
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 3: will play out the way the way that they should.

359
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 3: And it's been an honor being just called into that

360
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 3: little group to get looked at.

361
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: What have you learned from some of their keepers, anyone

362
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 1: in particular that has given you a tip where you've

363
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: watched them been like, oh yeah, I get I see that.

364
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 3: I mean definitely, just like little technical things in training,

365
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 3: like you get to watch people five yards away from

366
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 3: you making insane saves and I think that's something I

367
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 3: got to learn my rookie year of like watching Ddy

368
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 3: do some crazy stuff right in front of me. I

369
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 3: was like, oh, okay, that's how you get your foot

370
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 3: out there or something. So I think, yeah, like little

371
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 3: technical things like that, and then also for me, like

372
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 3: still being a young goalkeeper and meeting some of the

373
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 3: goalkeepers that like I've looked up to and really admired

374
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 3: has been cool. Like I met Jane at the last

375
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 3: camp and she was really cool.

376
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 2: Jane Campbell. Yeah.

377
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I would just say, like being that in

378
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 3: that ironman and being pushed by people that I've always

379
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 3: really respected has been really valuable.

380
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: You're one of the younger ones and you've got plenty

381
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 1: of time to make your mark, so it's maybe a

382
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,239
Speaker 1: little bit easier to just go and soak it all

383
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: up and just be grateful to be there. But I wonder,

384
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: just in general as a keeper, is there some intentionality

385
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:24,919
Speaker 1: around the mental health approach, the sports psychology approach to

386
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: the position, knowing that unless someone goes terribly wrong, you're

387
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: probably not getting in if you didn't start, Like could

388
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 1: you could be a forward or a midfielder and know

389
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 1: that like, hey, I didn't get the start, but I

390
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: might be a great sub that's going to completely change

391
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: the game.

392
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 2: But there's one keeper.

393
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, they probably are going to play every minute of

394
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: every game, right, how do you? I mean it's easy

395
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: to say, oh, you just have to be ready and

396
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: like be you ready when your name is called.

397
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 2: But that's hard.

398
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: How much do you actually talk about that with either

399
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: coaches or psychologists when you start to get on a

400
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 1: path to be a professional or an elite keeper.

401
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's something that you quickly learn if

402
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,959
Speaker 3: you're not the starter playing every single minute. And I

403
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 3: think like what it comes down to is just you

404
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 3: goalkeepers have to have this insane sense of like just

405
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 3: perseverance through anything. And so yeah, like when you're when

406
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 3: you're not starting and you're chilling on the bench for

407
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 3: all these games, like you have to just stay ready

408
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 3: and keep training as if you're going in. But it's

409
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 3: like it takes that mental perseverance to do that. And

410
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 3: then even like smaller things like when all the odds

411
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 3: are against you and you got to make the save,

412
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 3: like you have to I think as goalkeepers we just

413
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 3: have to we have this ability to like push through

414
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 3: perceived barriers. I guess is the way that I put it, Like, yeah,

415
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 3: when all odds are against you, you got to make

416
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 3: the save. When you're under the spotlight and you make

417
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 3: a mistake, you got to get back up again. Yeah,

418
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 3: we're really a special breed when it comes to perseverance

419
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 3: for sure. Yeah.

420
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting that you mentioned that because Briana

421
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: Scurray was on our show recently. She actually talked about

422
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 1: when she was going through all the different keepers in camp.

423
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 1: She specifically said about you that you had the psychological

424
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: edge because of starting, moving to back up, and working

425
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 1: your way back to starter. She really sees toughness and

426
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: resilience in that and sees you as someone who can

427
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: deal with the pressures of being in a camp and

428
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 1: battling it out for number one.

429
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 2: Do you think that does.

430
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 1: Give you an edge at all when dealing with the

431
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: pressure of competing for national team spots, that there are

432
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 1: athletes who maybe have never gotten knocked down yet they've

433
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 1: just always been number one starter, and that you maybe

434
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: have already figured out how to get through the tough stuff.

435
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 3: First of all, Wow, what a awesome compliment. And I

436
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 3: do think that that might give me an edge. Yeah.

437
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 3: I think it's just a really valuable experience to kind

438
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 3: of have some of those hardships early on as a

439
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 3: pro And that's why I feel like last year might

440
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 3: prove to be one of the most valuable years, you know,

441
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 3: coming up, And yeah, I think having the experience of

442
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 3: going through that is definitely going to help me, no

443
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 3: doubt in my mind. And I think a lot of

444
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 3: goalkeeping is just experience, and I think people only think

445
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 3: about that in terms of playing time, but I think

446
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 3: if you've experienced hardship, if you've experienced, you know, crawling

447
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 3: your way back out of a hole, that's also really valuable.

448
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think that will prove to help me

449
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 3: out at some point.

450
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: I want to hear about Emma Hayes' style and communication.

451
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 2: What kind of manager is she?

452
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I mean, no secret when you're around

453
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 3: her why she's been so successful. I think her as

454
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 3: a human being, probably in every aspect of her life,

455
00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 3: is just somebody who strives for excellence than just continues

456
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 3: to push that boundary. And you can tell, like when

457
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 3: you're in the environment. I mean, she's a super cool person,

458
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 3: but on the pitch, like she's as professional as they come.

459
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 3: She is driving a standard and elite standard and that

460
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 3: just rubs off on the rest of the group. I

461
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 3: think it's so great when you have a coach that

462
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 3: you're like, yes, obviously, when you have captains and other

463
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 3: teammates who pushed that standard. That's you know, that rubs

464
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 3: off on the group too. But when you have a

465
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 3: coach who is like really pushing a standard and really

466
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 3: doesn't accept anything but that excellence, it's like you just

467
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 3: fall in line, you know. And so it's been really

468
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 3: special to be coached by her. I remember I had

469
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 3: a moment my first senior team camp and I was

470
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 3: just sitting in the team meeting and I had a

471
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 3: moment where I was like, holy crap, that's Ema and

472
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 3: she's talking to me. Right, Yeah, that's awesome.

473
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 2: I do think that's the sweet spot.

474
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,679
Speaker 1: It's like they have to be demanding and expect a

475
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,479
Speaker 1: ton out of you and push you to get your best,

476
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: but you have to respect them and like them so much.

477
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 1: Yeah that you're like, oh, yeah, tell me what to

478
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 1: do versus like this motherfucker right.

479
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 3: Like I will follow you.

480
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly. Yeah. Yeah.

481
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: Do you feel like you know what she expects out

482
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: of you and wants you to work on. Is she

483
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 1: pretty transparent about saying here's what you need to get

484
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 1: better at, here's what I don't like when you do this,

485
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: or do you feel like you're trying to like search

486
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: and figure that out?

487
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 3: I mean, I think all the staff on the you know,

488
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 3: on the US team, they have a certain level of

489
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 3: professionalism about them where they're not just laying their cards

490
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 3: out in front of everybody, which I think is really

491
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 3: a great way to go about it. But on an

492
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 3: individual level, obviously I work a lot with the goalkeepering

493
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 3: coach as well, just like more one on one with that.

494
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 3: But yes, I think it's very clear the style of

495
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 3: play that they want to play, what your roles and

496
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 3: expectations are as a goalkeeper, like specifically on the football side.

497
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 3: And then for me, a big thing that we've all

498
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 3: kind of been harping on is just getting a lot

499
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 3: of experience in the league and starting this whole season

500
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 3: and getting through a whole season as a starter, and

501
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 3: that's kind of, I think all of our main goal

502
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 3: to just continue my development.

503
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 1: So I actually learned a lot from Briana Scurry about

504
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: a couple things, including what Emma Hayes wants like in

505
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 1: terms of a keeper who could be on ball, which

506
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: means you can use your feet and stuff and not

507
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: just pick it up and take it far. And they

508
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: want to be kind of a possession team and integrate

509
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 1: the keeper into the angles and possession to set things

510
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: up instead of always feeling like you're separate from the

511
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: rest of the team and moving into the offensive space.

512
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: So is that a fit for what you're already doing

513
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 1: with Angel City? Is that the style Angel City plays?

514
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: Is it a possession team. Is it one where they're

515
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 1: looking to incorporate you into starting and creating flow of

516
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 1: offense or is that something you have to adjust when

517
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: you get to camp to consider expectations differently.

518
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,679
Speaker 3: A little bit of an adjustment, I think a Angel City,

519
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 3: a lot of my role at the moment has been

520
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 3: like relieving pressure and you know, finding those smaller, more

521
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 3: possession based passes when I can and when it's on.

522
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 3: But I think for us we really want to for

523
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 3: Angel City, that is, we want to maintain possession higher

524
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 3: up the field, and one of my strong suits is

525
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 3: definitely my range of kicking. And so yeah, I think

526
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 3: it's a little bit of an adjustment just because I mean,

527
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 3: as a goalkeeper you're still involved in possession and in

528
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 3: the build up, but going into national team like you

529
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 3: are really a playmaker. So yeah, just like another step

530
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 3: up of my like role I guess in possession. So yeah,

531
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 3: there's like a little bit of a learning curve there

532
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 3: for the first day when I get into camp. But

533
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 3: having both kinds of styles that you know, they really

534
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 3: they do mesh. But having both those styles and all

535
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 3: those skill sets in my pocket, like, yeah, it'll help

536
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 3: you bring it on exactly.

537
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 2: Wherever you go.

538
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm starting to learn some of the differences in

539
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: understanding style of keepers. Everyone that's elite is a good

540
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 1: shot stopper, that's kind of necessary for the role, but

541
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: there's so much more to it. Are there certain keepers

542
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: that you watched growing up or more recently even that

543
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: are kind of your influencers or role models or you

544
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: try to model your game after.

545
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 3: Uh, yeah, I'm currently my one of my biggest role

546
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 3: models or someone that I'm just I disrespect so much

547
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 3: is and Caterrin Berger and we're playing her tomorrow. I

548
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 3: just think she is unbelievable with the ball at her feet,

549
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 3: and you have to the other team has to play

550
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 3: you differently when you're a goalkeeper who can play the

551
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 3: ball anywhere on the field, at any time, any height

552
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 3: on a dime. I'm just, yeah, I'm so impressed with her,

553
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 3: and I literally I want to I want to be

554
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,040
Speaker 3: here one day with all my feet. So yeah, I

555
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 3: say akb At the moment, I'm gonna I might ask

556
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 3: her for her jersey tomorrow.

557
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I love it.

558
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: Do the jersey swap for those who aren't familiar place

559
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: for Gotham FC German keeper and was the NWSL Keeper

560
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,679
Speaker 1: of the Year last year. Really changed a lot for

561
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: that team and changes their style because they've got her

562
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: back there.

563
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 2: She's She's fantastic. I love the jersey swap.

564
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: Okay, I gotta let you go, but we're gonna do

565
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: a very quick La speed round. So what are your

566
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: favorite ways to decompress or distress in La?

567
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 2: Oh?

568
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a challenge hanging out with my cat and

569
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 3: I'm a big like meditator, breathwork visualizer, so I make

570
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 3: sure I get that in every day. And hard to

571
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 3: find nature around here, but I do my best. I

572
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 3: take I take little hikes or I hit the Yeah.

573
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: I like how you think it's hard to find nature

574
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: in La. I'm in Chicago. Okay, we do have a

575
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: lake to ride a bike on or whatever. But I

576
00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: miss living in La because I would hike like three

577
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: to four times a week. But it was my favorite

578
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: spots were Pacific palisades that are no longer with us

579
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: my favorite hiking places. But yeah, I mean, soak up

580
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: the la vibes that you do have. There's a lot

581
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: more nature near you than you probably think.

582
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 3: I know, I'm from nor Cal where I could walk out.

583
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 2: My back so spoiled. That's right. Okay, I get it.

584
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 2: I get it.

585
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: Which Angel City team owner were you or are you

586
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: most excited or nervous to meet?

587
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 3: Oh? Meeting Jennifer Gardner and Natalie Portman. That was like

588
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 3: I was starstruck for sure.

589
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 2: Jennifer's on my list.

590
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: I've met Natalie a couple of times, but Jennifer's like,

591

Speaker 1: I feel like we'd be bff.

592
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 3: Jennifer, she seems like so cool when I talked to her,

593
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 3: or like when I would be warming up last year,

594
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,959
Speaker 3: she was always sitting pitchside and I'd be like hi,

595
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 3: and she'd be.

596
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:57,880

00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 3: have become a chopoholic, really bad.

605
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 2: You got to keep up with the girlies on your team.

606
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: They are like bringing the fits and I'm trying.

607
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 3: Honestly. The mall, which is like five minutes away from me,

608
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 3: has every store imaginable, so I just walk in there.

609
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 2: It's a whole mall.

610
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: Uh. And then final, one notable celebrity encounter outside of

611
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: your own team's owners.

612
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 3: I actually haven't had that many. But I did see

613
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 3: Simon Cowell. Okay, that was pretty cool.

614
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 2: Did he look crouchy?

615
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 3: No, we actually seemed really happy.

616
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: I'm good. Maybe it's just a persona for television, I

617
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: think so. Well, it was so nice to get to

Speaker 2: So he's the real MVP, and I.

633
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:03,040

00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:04,160

641
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,920

Speaker 1: you tell them they need to know about the show?

643
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,800

644
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: What are the top two episodes you might have them

645

Speaker 1: listen to to help them get to know our vibe.

646

654
00:32:58,920 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: of five stars.

655
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 2: What are we doing here? Review?

656
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: NWSL Commissioner Jessica Berman has announced that part of the

657
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: league's new partnership with Call Her Daddy podcast host Alex

658
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 1: Cooper and her hangover drink, Unwell is something Berman's calling

659
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: a quote league supporters group called unwell FC end quote.

660
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: She compared it to Natalie Portman or Jennifer Garner leading

661
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: the supporters group at Angel City FC games, except you know,

662
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: those two are owners of Angel City and therefore supporters

663
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: of Angel City, while these Cooper led supporter sections at

664
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 1: games will be rooting for I guess the league or

665
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: the game of soccer, or both teams having fun. I

666
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: love big swings that I love trying to appeal to

667
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: a new audience. But this is not only not very

668
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: well thought out, but has also upset actual supporters groups

669
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: who feel like the league completely misunderstands its fan base.

670
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: I'm kind of curious to see what happens when the

671
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: so called league supporters groups first hit a game. Will

672
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: they sit with the supporters group of the home team

673
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: somewhere else, Will they chant, play music, or otherwise interact

674
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: with the game in a way that competes with the

675
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 1: home supporters group. Who or what exactly will they be

676
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: cheering for, and what will the response from fans be like?

677
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: I do want to point out that I understand that

678
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: in women's sport there are a lot of people that

679
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 1: like support the whole league and want all the teams

680
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: to succeed and all the players to succeed, But that

681
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: just doesn't really translate to being in a stadium cheering

682
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:33,919
Speaker 1: for an abstract thing. Again, I hope both teams have fun.

683
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: Is kind of a funny thing to say, but hard

684
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,359
Speaker 1: to put it to practice in a supporters group. If

685
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,359
Speaker 1: you want to hear more about this, and specifically from

686
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 1: some of the supporters' groups that are a little chuffed

687
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,399
Speaker 1: about it, Meglenahan and Tamara Griffin hosts a full time

688
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,760
Speaker 1: with Meg Linahan. Did a great episode where they actually

689
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: reached out to some of those folks so you could

00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:50,000
