Summary

This week on the podcast we have Danny Colaprico who plays for the Chicago Red Stars, and played college soccer at the University of Virginia. She had her first USWNT cap in 2018.  We also talk with Danny about losing her Dad and how soccer has helped her during a time of grief. "So here’s my advice to all of you. Yes, losing a loved one is heartbreaking and I’m not sure the sad days will ever end, but one thing I do know is…if you find the light in every situation, this will make it easier. Soccer has been and is my light. Soccer has allowed me to grab hold of my struggles and fight them off one day at a time. When I step out on the field, I feel strength and empowered because I know deep down my Dad is right there with me. He’s here for it. All of it."
