Okay, real question. If you're heading to an NWSL or MLS match this summer, do you have a pair of

0:06.2

sunglasses that can handle a run, playing with your dog, a stop at brunch, and then heading

0:11.4

to the big match? Because that's basically a perfect day and it's exactly what Goeter sunglasses are

0:17.1

built for. I'm excited about this one because Gooder now has officially licensed NWSL and

0:22.6

MLS sunglasses. So you can rep your favorite club all summer long, whether you're out being

0:27.9

active or just hanging with friends before kickoff. They're designed to actually move with you.

0:32.9

They've got a no slip grip so they stay put even when you're sweating, a no bounce fit that runners will

appreciate and UV 400 protection for those bright afternoon matches. And there are tons of

team color combos and frame styles. So you can find a pair that matches your club and your vibe

for all your spring and summer plans. I can wear these out to coffee with my friends on my big trips

your eyewear, head to gooder.com slash TWG to claim $10 off your first order when you sign up with

At the time, I was like, oh, like, this is a lot of eyes on me, and I personally don't like that most of the time, or any of the time. Most of the time. Yeah. Any of the time. But like you said, like for Defenders to start getting the recognition, I think it's cute when like someone's like, I started playing Defender because of you.

I'm like, oh.

Yes. Yes.

Hi, everyone. Welcome back to teaming up with Becky Sowerbren, brought to you by the women's game.

I'm very excited for today's guest, someone whom I greatly admire as a person, a player, and a leader. It's Chelsea Center Back, Secretary of Defense for the U.S. Women's National Team, Naomi Germa. In December of 2023, two days before Christmas, I got a text message from Naomi. She was putting together a mental health retreat for NWSL players in San

2:01.4

Diego with the organization Common Goal. The focus of the retreat was to equip players with the

2:06.3

knowledge and skills to better be able to manage stress and grief and the uncertainty that comes

2:11.6

with life transitions. My dad had passed away from cancer earlier that year and the grief
