Ashlyn Harris
USA Women’s National Team goalkeeper Ashlyn Harris joins Women’s World Football Show for an intimate conversation on life, empowerment and improvement. From her stellar youth career to her inspiring success at UNC, and all the way to the No. 1 national team in the world, Ashlyn’s story is one of self-discovery, individuality and perseverance. The 2016 CONCACAF Goalkeeper of the Year recipient shares insights on the SheBelieves Cup, her recent trip to Liberia and her involvement with the organization To Write Love on Her Arms.

Never one to give the “comfortable” answers, Ashlyn gives insight into why she thinks she resonates with young fans, her rare, yet close bond with fellow USWNT goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher and living in the shadow of Hope Solo. Ashlyn also gives us a glimpse into her upcoming season with the Orlando Pride and why she thinks everyone should join in the excitement. An advocate for the women’s game and for young girls all over the world, Ashlyn Harris is a role model who is aware of the importance of her voice and the platform she has been given to use it to help impact lives. Ashlyn is not your average athlete and this is not your average interview! (8:53′)

Line Johansen
Keeping a long the ‘goalkeeer’ theme, Danish footballer Line Johansen sits down with Adam to share her journey to the Denmark Women’s National Team. It was Denmark’s semi-final appearance in the 2013 Euros that inspired a generation of young girls to play football in Denmark. After suffering an injury, that took her out of the game for a few months, Line is ready to come back and set to start in the upcoming Cyprus Cup. What makes a great goalkeeper and why is focus and determination key to being successful at the position? Line brings us into the net for an up close, personal view. This is what a positive mindset can do regardless of the circumstance! (45:12′)

In this spirited interview, the 5-foot-9 defender shares with us her journey to Finland and Iceland, as well as her experience playing for the Boston Breakers Reserves.

How do you succeed when you’re taken out of your comfort zone? You develop a brand new attitude! To give us a first hand look at how this works, Women’s World Football Show welcomes Australian midfielder Elise Kellond-Knight!

As the only Matilda playing in the Frauen Budesliga at the moment, Elise shares her adventures at Turbine Potsdam, the change of culture, language, and oh that weather! On the pitch, Elise gives us insight on why she chose to leave the W-League and take on the new challenge of a faster, more disciplined game in Germany.

Elise also shares her experiences playing for Australia, her experiences at the Rio Olympics and what was the story behind the infamous water bottle swticher-roo with Lisa De Vanna?

Paul Greig
When Christy Holly was named head coach to Sky Blue FC of the NWSL at the beginning of 2016, he wasted no time in calling up his Scottish mate Paul Greig to come over to be his assistant coach. And true to form – Greig answered the call! Now he’s answering Adam’s call with a great one-on-one interview. The internationally experienced coach chats about his success in New Zealand with Northern Football, where he led his club to the ASB Women’s League championship in 2015. For a young chap, Greig brings vast experience to the NWSL, topping off one of the best coaching staffs in the league (with Holly and Jill Loyden). It’s awesome to get Greig’s perspective on his first year in the league, some of his standout moments over the past year, and a look at the upcoming season. Plus, Jersey’s favorite Scotsman delivers a special message to the Sky Blue fans! (45:00)

Allie Long
Since re-joining the U.S. Women’s National Team in April, 2016, Allie Long has more than quadrupled her career caps. Long came into this year with only 4 WNT appearances, but with her last start (vs Romania), she earned her 20th cap. Patty caught up with the newly appointed center back to talk about her new role on the team and how accepting she is of the team’s recent changes. Plus, is there a position she wouldn’t play and what was her biggest take-away from the Rio Olympics? Also, we hear from Jill Ellis who talks about Long’s poise on and off the pitch. If you think you know Allie Long, this interview may prove you wrong! (Yes, we rhyme). (31:33)

U20 Women’s World Cup
The 2016 FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup is in the books and standing on top of the heap is Korea DPR? How did that happen? And where did the powerhouses of USA, Japan and Brazil land? You’ll be surprised. Patty and Adam break down the cup, while putting the USA U20’s under the microscope. Could the USA’s college system be at the root of the youngster’s latest fall? We take on that discussion.
