Summary
Sydney Leroux is a modern-day superwoman. For episode 227, we're learning all about the soccer player, starting with her choice to move to the United States from Canada as a teen to pursue her dream of playing soccer and make the U.S. Women's National Team to play with the best of the best. And now? She's an Olympic gold medalist and World Cup Champ. The mother-of-two opens up about her first pregnancy being a surprise, and what it felt like to both play soccer at almost six months pregnant and ~then~ get back in the game 93 days after having her daughter Roux. She also opens up about the #hurdlemoments she’s faced, including a miscarriage and abuse and bullying at a young age in sport. Abuse that she hopes future generations of athletes won’t have to go through.
