A conversation with the brilliant (and brilliantly hilarious) Julie Foudy. The two-time World Cup champ, two-time Olympic gold medalist, sportscaster, and NWSL owner shares insights on the state and future of global women’s football – and how the sport is connecting us to the rest of the world.
When you're, as Billie Jean King says, the 1st Gen, the first group to come through your sport as she was with tennis, and we were with soccer, you have this added built in responsibility. You've got to create the path and the road for others to follow in behind. We're setting the standard for what the legacy should look like for the group coming behind us, and we're leaving the sport in a better place for the group coming after us.
