Veronica Latsko
There’s no one single path to playing professional soccer and the journey is different for everyone. In this exclusive Veronica Latsko, Houston Dash, NWSLinterview, Adam sits down with Houston Dash striker Veronica Latsko to talk about her soccer journey and the new heights she’s reaching in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL). The University of Virginia standout had to wait until the third round and the 28th pick of the 2018 NWSL College Draft before she found out she would be playing for Vera Pauw’s Dash.

In this highly spirited conversation, Veronica gives us a glimpse into the draft-day experience, comparisons to the college game, and her quick rise to stardom in Houston. Plus, the Pittsburgh native talks about the growth of women’s soccer in her hometown, the fast pace of the pro leagues, and some of her toughest competitors.

Women’s World Football Show, Episode 85 features exclusive interviews with USWNT goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher; Australia defender Angela Beard; Aussie sports writer Cheryl Downes.

The competition is fierce in the women’s game, so when opportunities are presented, the hungry ones go full force. On this episode, Women’s World Football Show features a couple of players who are not throwing away their shot!

First up is U.S. Women’s National Team goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher. The New England native knows what it’s like to live and play outside of her comfort zone and she’s made a career out of it. In this rare interview, Alyssa gives us insight into her experiences moving away from home playing falyssanaeheraction_finalor Turbine Potsdam in Germany and then later leaving the comfy confines of her hometown for the bustling city of Chicago.

Always a consistent player on the youth squads, at Penn State and at the club level, Alyssa challenged herself to change her mindset when she hit the national team as a backup to Hope Solo. Now, she’s battling for the number one spot and she’s giving it all she’s got. Alyssa shares with us how her past experiences have shaped who she is today, what’s she’s done to raise her game to another level and more.

Plus, her thoughts on Chicago, her life away from the pitch and another possible reason the Chicago Cubs won the World Series. Alyssa gives us the insider scoop! Alyssa literally takes ‘Perseverance” wherever she goes. WARNING: We file this interview under Must-Listen! (7:00’)

Angela Beardangiebeard_final
Representing Australia on the U-17 and U-20 squads, Angie Beard is one of the more dynamic defenders in the women’s game. Currently with Brisbane Roar in the W-League, the 19-year old was a nominee for the 2015/16 W-League Young Footballer of the Year award. Angie’s defensive craftiness led to her being awarded Brisbane Roar’s Player of the Year for 2015/16.

A product of the Queensland Academy of Sport, Angie is a fierce competitor who gleefully tackles every obstacle that comes her way. One example – her recent injury that occurred soon after being called up to the full Australian squad. Angie shares with us how she overcame disappointment with determination. Now she is back and ready to don the orange for Brisbane and the gold for Australia. So, throw another shrimp on the barbie, sit back and listen to this inspiring interview with one of the brightest prospects in Australia women’s football! (26:00′)
