There’s something about starting anew! Whether its a new year, a new season, a new semester, or a new job, it’s always a time to hit the refresh button and restart. And new adventures in life also allows us a time to reflect a little and learn.

On this episode we do all that and more as we welcome one of the brightest young players in the game to day, UCLA defender Lucy Parker! We’ll also hear from a couple veterans in the NWSL who have some sage advice for the young players coming into the league.

Lucy Parker

One of the most exciting collegiate players in the game today, UCLA’s Lucy Parker joins us at a very pivotal moment in her career. Entering her final season with UCLA, Lucy is gearing up for her entry into the pro ranks when she joins Kansas City in the summer. Selected 16th overall in the draft by KC, Lucy takes us through her journey from growing up in Cambridge, England to finding herself on the West Coast in California.

The 3-time Arsenal Player of the year and 2-time FA Youth Cup Winner, Lucy has 22 international caps under her belt w/ the England Youth National Team from U15 to U21. What made her decide to give it all up to play college soccer in the States? And what did she learn from the experience. Lucy share it all with us and more. Do not miss this opportunity to get to know the young star as she stands on the edge of what’s sure to be a long and successful career! (12′)

Megan Oyster and Sophie Schmidt

Former UCLA defender and NCAA National Champion Megan Oyster and former University of Portland standout Sophie Schmidt bring us back to their college days and the experiences that shaped them on and off the pitch. The Houston Dash stars also give their advice for the young players transitioning into the professional leagues. (40′ & 43′)

Episode 184: Megan Rapinoe, Carli Lloyd, Catarina Macario

Women’s World Football Show, Episode 184 features soundbites from US Women’s National Team Players Megan Rapinoe, Carli Lloyd and Catarina Macario

It’s a new year and a new day for women’s football, and what better way to head into the year than to hear from some of our favorite USWNT players we haven’t seen in awhile (and one we’re just getting to know)

USWNT Players

The US Women’s National Team is preparing for a busy year with the SheBelieves Tournament in February and a full slate of NWSL matches in the year ahead. The team got together for two friendlies against Colombia recently and conducted a few virtual press conferences – just in time to ease our stress levels a bit.

In this episode, we hear from Megan Rapinoe in one of the more entertaining pressers – as she shares her thoughts on the political climate in the USA, the evolution of the National Anthem protest, her thoughts on her teammates who do not kneel, and much more! (11′)

We also hear from a re-energized Carli Lloyd as she discusses her mental and physical fitness after a long layoff, reuniting with her family, her thoughts on why she chooses not to kneel during the anthem, and more. (48′)

There’s a star in the making on the USWNT, and her name is Catarina Macario! We listen in as the young striker tells us why she decided to leave Stanford a year early to pursue her professional career in France, what it means to be a new American at this time, how it feels to play with her childhood heroes, and so much more! (58′)

Plus, we take a look at the upcoming calendar for the NWSL season; Managerial changes for a few international teams; FA Women’s Continental League Cup scores, and more!
