Episode 159: Grace Cutler, Kennedy, Corsie, Bledsoe, Rueben

On this episode, we focus on the ‘other side’ of playing professional football – living and playing abroad.

Imagine having a job that requires you to pick up and relocate to another country at least twice a year… forcing you to live and work in a foreign country. Many times, it’s a country you’ve never been to before, far away from family and friends, and the comforts of home.

This has become very common in the women’s game and one we’ll explore in-depth with special guests American Grace Cutler who is currently playing in Italy; Nigerian Charity Rueben who just finished up playing club football in Katzakstan; and brief chats with American Aubrey Bledsoe who is playing in Australia; and Aussie Alanna Kennedy and Scotland’s Rachel Corsie, who just finished up their NWSL season in the USA.

Grace Cutler

After stellar careers in high school and college, Grace Cutler was drafted by the Houston Dash in the 2019 NWSL College Draft. From there, it’s been a rollercoaster ride of emotions and whirl wind of life lessons.

We chat with Grace about her past year and her current challenge of playing abroad in the Italy’s Serie A with Sassuolo FC. How is she adapting, what is she learning about the game and herself, and much more! (8’)
