Summary

We’re kicking it with a legend today on our series For the Love of Finishing Strong: Olympic gold medalist and FIFA World Cup champ (and Jen’s good friend) Abby Wambach! Abby shares her road to soccer stardom and the lessons she picked up from great leaders along the way—like her coach Pia Sundhage, who showed Abby how powerful and holistic feminine leadership can be. Abby takes us on a journey through her life post-soccer and how she’s using structure and discipline in new ways to help her meet her goals. Together with her wife Glennon Doyle and their Wolfpack, Abby is showing the world what it looks like to bring your full, authentic, and vulnerable self to leadership and why it’s important to make sure everyone in the room is seen and has a voice. And at the end of the day, Abby reminds us that life isn’t about achieving gold medals or winning world championships—it’s about the journey and the people who are walking beside us along the way.

0:35.2	I am kind of just doing the series for myself to be honest.
0:39.2	It has been a year and I know my own tendency, which is to hit this portion of the year and
0:45.1	just slide into entropy, right?
0:48.7	Like into like absolute inertia, which never does what I want it to do for me.
0:55.0	What I want it to do is feel like a break.
0:56.8	Like I'm taking a break and I have a breather and I'm resting, but it has the opposite effect
1:01.4	for me.
1:02.4	It makes me feel sluggish and behind and off task and that just doesn't work for like
