Sarah Walsh
There’s no better way to kick of 2018 than with our featured guest, former Matilda striker Sarah Walsh! As one of the pioneers of Australian women’s football, Sarah represented Australia at the 2004 Olympics, 2006 AFC Women’s Asian Cup and made a huge impact as part of the Matilda’s break out tournament at the 2007 Women’s World Cup in China.

Sarah joins us to reflect on her amazing career and some of her most fondest Matilda memories. How did some of the squads she was a part of help shape the growth of the game in Australia today? And what impact does the W-League have on the future of the national team? Sarah brings us her insightful knowledge. Not only is the former striker a world-class broadcaster for Fox Sports, she has taken her business degree and become the General Manager for Women’s Football at Football Federation Australia. A true influence on and off the pitch in women’s soccer, Sarah continues to help grow and improve the women’s game in Australia and beyond! (12:38′)
