Today on the SGP pod we have special guest NC Courage and Mexico Women's National Team forward D Ordóñez. D talks to us about how she finds success in front of the net, (she actually broke most goals in a season scored by a rookie this year). She also chats with us about her belief that you can't determine success on the field only by how many goals you score but how forwards need understand they can contribute in so many other ways as well. We loved hearing about her debut on the national team and about her experience so far as a professional!

0:14.3 | Good. Still hot, but it's going good. Yeah. Awesome. Well, you've had quite a season already. |
0:23.2 | Thank you. A record for goal scored in a rookie season. Like, what do you credit that to? |
0:28.4 | Thank you. Well, first, I feel just like very blessed to be on the team that I'm on. |
0:36.7 | And I think, you know, getting to start my career on a team that, you know, had a lot of change |
0:46.3 | and just kind of started from square one at the beginning of the season was kind of like a blessing |
0:51.8 | in disguise. Like, I think a lot of people doubted us and what we would be able to do coming |
0:56.1 | into the season, but there's so many talented players that stuck with the team and decided to stay. |
1:02.5 | And I do a credit so much of it to my teammates. They, they are unbelievable players. And |
1:10.0 | to be blunt, they make it really easy for me to score when they put the ball in the box the way |
1:13.6 | that they do. So yeah, my teammates are huge. I give a lot of credit to them for goal scoring, for sure. |
1:22.0 | Is there any teammate that sticks out that really like took you under their wing since it's being |
1:27.2 | in your first season? Yeah, there's definitely been a couple. I would say when I first got here, |

1:47.5 | you know, starting out being a pro at a young age and just coming from the college game and |
1:52.1 | everything, they really guided me and just kind of like showed me the ropes and |
1:57.0 | and taught me what it's like to take care of yourself when you have heavy game weeks and just |
2:02.5 | all the things that they've learned in all their time and how established they are in the league |
2:07.4 | becoming close with them and getting their guidance was something that was really helpful for me. |
