There are tons of rising stars in women’s soccer today, but none as young and exciting as Australia Women’s National Team striker Amy Sayer. Adam sits down with the 16-year old to learn about what it takes to play at the highest level while still in high school.
reason is the addition of midfielder Amber Stobbs. The former Washington Spirit Reserves player visits with Patty to talk about her career, her college days at Hofstra University and her new project – Equal Focus Football.
Coming off an excellent year in the Eredivisie Vrouwen (the professional women’s football league in the Netherlands), Katja Snoeijs is picking up where she left off. Last season Katja led the Dutch league with most goals scored and is on pace to have another record-breaking season. Adam sits down with the young VV Alkmaar striker to chat about her recent successes, how she got where she is today and what the future looks like.
Adam took a trip to Southampton for the Women’s World Cup Qualifier between England and Wales. Don’t let the 0-0 score fool you… this was a feisty affair with a huge crowd and Adam breaks it all down. We hear what Welsh Head Coach and Arsenal legend Jayne Ludlow has to say about her team’s form and why a draw against FIFA ranked #2 England feels like a victory. (6:40’)
