Summary
Tobin and Christen discuss the importance of telling the stories of the players and moments who came before them. How does storytelling preserve history? Why does the lack of footage and social media from decades ago make it hard for the youth to know about the game’s greats? And what can be done today to help change it? Then, Tobin and Christen welcome USWNT legend and Bay FC founder, Leslie Osborne, for a conversation on Leslie’s experience as an athlete and how it equipped her to become a founder, entrepreneur and businesswoman. Plus, our new segment called The Kickoff and, of course, your Community Questions!
