Summary
In an interview recorded earlier this week prior to his call up to USMNT's November camp, Borussia Mönchengladbach and United States Men’s National Team midfielder Gio Reyna sat down with Rog to discuss resilience and finding joy in the game again. Reyna opens up about the pain of past injuries, the daily habits that rebuild trust in his playing style, and why consistent minutes are the foundation of gaining confidence again. Lastly, Reyna looks ahead to the 2026 World Cup, outlining the role he hopes to play, how he can impact games, and what the moment would mean.
