There are so many great young players in the women’s game today, but none as exciting as Ashley Hatch. The young striker was selected second overall in the 2017 NWSL College Draft by the North Carolina Courage and is building a name for herself as someone who plays and lives with a fearless spirit.

In this interview, Ashley tells the story of how she discovered her love for soccer and what went into her decision to play at Brigham Young University. A favorite to win the NWSL Rookie of the Year Award, Ashley is the best example of what happens when hard work meets opportunity. Off the pitch, Ashley is just as committed to being true to herself, her faith and her family. An inspiring interview with an inspired athlete! (10’)
