Summary

SGP is joined by Portland Thorns and Irish National Team's Marissa Sheva. Marissa tells us about playing soccer and running track at Penn State and why she believes being a multi-sport athlete actually prevented her from burn out. We learn about her journey from her injury and feeling like she didn't belong and how that can be a scary time but having a support system off and on the field helped her get through that time.
