There’s a youth explosion in women’s football with a slu of young players making their way through the pro ranks. It’s fun, exciting, and is shaping the future of women’s soccer.

On this episode, we welcome former Arizona State University star and current Washington Spirit rookie Nicole Douglas. We also hear from Spirit Head Coach Mark Parsons talking about Nicole and her role on the team.

And While we’re looking into the future of women’s soccer, we examine a new report by Women’s Sports Foundation Head of Research Karen Issokson-Silver.

During her time at Arizona State University, Nicole Douglas turned heads with her goal-scoring talent and ball handling ability, as she broke the school’s all-time goal-scoring record with 60 all-time goals. After being selected 26th overall in the 2023 NWSL College Draft by the Washington Spirit, Nicole is now part of the youthful emergence in the league. The rookie shares her thoughts about coming from her hometown of London and the Chelsea Academy to play college soccer at ASU, your football journey, what the future holds and more! (21’)

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!
