Nadine Angerer
Recognized as one of the world’s best female goalkeepers, Nadine Angerer made her debut for the German Women’s National Team in August 1996. Through the course of her international career, Nadine was a 2-time WWC Champion, 5-time UEFA European champion, 3-time Olympic bronze medal winner, and 2-time Algarve Cup champion. In 2013, she was awarded FIFA World Player of the Year, becoming the first goalkeeper – male or female to win the award.

Nadine joined the Portland Thorns FC of the NWSL as a player in 2014. A year later, she retired from playing, but stayed in Portland to become the goalkeeper coach for the team. In this in-depth interview, the amicable coach shares her experiences playing for the German team and the iconic 2007 team that won the Women’s Cup while not conceding a single goal throughout the whole tournament.

Known as a PK-save specialist throughout her career, Nadine brings us insight into some of her biggest saves, how she trained, and some of her biggest influences. Plus, Nadine shares her thoughts on coaching in Portland, Adrianna Franch, and some of the things she’s doing to become even better at the craft of coaching.

Nadine also shares her thoughts on the current German squad, including new coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg and their chances of winning the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup, and more! (5:35′)

No matter what side of the world you’re on, one thing’s for sure – you know an inspirational soccer star when you see one! In this episode of Women’s World Football Show, we spotlight not one, but TWO of the world’s most motivating stars in the women’s game today.

First up, we chat with South Africa captain and record cap holder Janine van Wyk. In this interview Janine tells us how preparations are going for the Olympic games in Rio (including a trip to the USA to play the world champions) and how the side is much better prepared than they were for their last Olympics in 2012.

The influential leader also tells us all about her JVW FC Project that is giving girls all over the world a chance to play the beautiful game. How did Janine handle her first cap as a 17-year old for South Africa? What does THAT goal against Nigeria really mean to her? And how does Manchester United figure into her own dreams? Janine shares the answers and so much more!

Second up (but always No. 1 in the hearts of Mexico fans) is defender Alina Garciamendez. The Stanford record-holder updates us on her latest career path and it’s possible affect on her soccer future. Alina shares her thoughts on the current state of the Mexico Women’s National Team and what she thinks can be done to make the the women’s game stronger in that country.
