This week on the pod we chat with, Gotham defender and NWSL’s Rookie of the Year, Jenna Nighswonger. Jenna tells us about growing her game in a new position and importance of having open communication with your coach during that process. We learn about how Ali krieger has had her back and given her the confidence in herself as part of the backline. She also tells her unique ways to get over her nerves, something we've never heard before but think it's a genius idea!
