Women’s World Football Show, Episode 70 features exclusive interviews with USWNT star Cindy Parlow Cone; Israel defender Diana Redman; Doncaster head coach Glen Harris and forward Courtney Sweetman-Kirk; Chelsea striker Claire Rafferty; Manchester City forward Toni Duggan and Manager Nick Cushing; French sportswriter Lisa Durel; and Chicago sports broadcaster Alison Moran.

Women’s World Football Show is excited to welcome Cindy Parlow Cone to the show! The Women’s World Cup Champion and Olympic Gold Medal winner has spent her soccer career impacting the women’s game & she’s still at it!

Cindy is currently the outreach director for Goals for Girls, a ground-breaking organization that connects girls from all over the world teaching leadership skills and teamwork through the international language of soccer.

As a member of the iconic 1999 Women’s World Cup team, Cindy understands the impact she plays by giving young girls a positive role model on and off the pitch. From her stellar college career (two-time MAC Hermann trophy winner, by the way) to her coaching successes (she led the Portland Thorns to the inaugural NWSL championship), Cindy gives us insight on what it takes to be a positive voice in women’s soccer.

Why are there so few women coaches in professional leagues? Why is soccer such a sanctuary for young girls around the world? And who are her heroes? Cindy Parlow Cone answers all those questions and more! This is one of those interviews you’ll be replaying… guaranteed!

USWNT vs. U.S. Soccer

What are the ramifications of the suit and how will it affect the team and the National Women’s Soccer League? Patty and Adam have a spirited debate. For more info on the lawsuit and to read interviews with the players, check out Alison Glock’s article at ESPNW.

Diana Redman
A budding soccer star in college, Diana Redman found herself going down a path of self-destruction. Then, the Israel Women’s National Team came calling and the defender turned her life around. This is an inspirational story of how determination and dedication can change just about any circumstance. Diana has taken her soccer talents around the world, playing club soccer in Spain and most recently won the Aphrodite Women’s Cup 2016 with Israel. Not only making a name for herself on the pitch, Diana is changing lives off the pitch as well by counselling other athletes who have fallen down similar paths of substance addiction. Catch Adam’s interview with this extraordinary athlete.
