Summary
It's not every day that you get to interview a member of the women's World Cup Championship team, but thanks to the power of networking I have a REALLY special interview for you today.
Jessica McDonald has had an incredible career as a professional soccer player, most recently as a member of the North Carolina Courage AND a member of the 2019 US Women's team, that recently took home the title of 2019 World Cup Champions.
She has some incredible insights to share about her role as a "badass mom" as she puts it, her winning mindset, and the pre-game ritual she indulges in before every game (that she's never shared publicly before!!)
In this episode you will learn:
- How Jessica overcame adversity to become an unlikely addition to the 2019 US Women's World Cup team
- The secret pre-game ritual she indulges in before every game
- What she hopes her son will learn by watching his mom pursue her dreams
