Becky Sauerbrunn, Lindsey Heaps on their leadership journeys with the USWNT | U.S. Soccer Podcast

Описание: Two USWNT captains, past and present, join us on this week's episode of “The U.S. Soccer Podcast.” First, Becky Sauerbrunn sits down to support co-host Megan Klingenberg’s emotional decision to retire (4:40). The two recall memories from their time together as teammates, including some competitive escape room outings (16:30) and the surprising story behind Klingenberg’s second cap (13:15). Finally, the conversation concludes on the topic of legacy, and how the two recent retirees plan to approach the next phase of their careers (21:16).

Later in the episode, Lindsey Heaps joins our hosts (39:50) to discuss her path to becoming USWNT captain, which began with her first call-up and first cap in the 2013 Algarve Cup. Then, the midfielder shares what she’s learned from her own conversations with Sauerbrunn (44:02), how she’s seen leadership out of teammates such as Naomi Girma and Emily Sonnett (48:00), and the importance of driving a competitive, winning culture for a new generation (50:10).
