Becky Sauerbrunn's Historic Soccer Career | Just Women's Sports Podcast

The most decorated center back in USWNT history sits down with friend and teammate Kelley O’Hara to discuss the wisdom she’s accrued on her path to greatness.
Becky Sauerbrunn joins teammate and friend Kelley O’Hara to discuss her historic career anchoring the USWNT defense. Becky and Kelley start by reflecting on the national team’s final match of 2020 against the Netherlands, before jumping back in time to re-trace Becky’s journey from being her older brothers’ guinea pig to becoming the first-ever president of the USWNT Players Association. Becky discusses what it means to be an introverted leader on a team full of extroverts, how she’s overcome the doubts of certain national team coaches, the work ethic that led her to win four NWSL Defender of the Year awards, and what made the 2019 World Cup a tournament like no other.

Kelly is very good at this format. I hope she gets to expand her interview talent into other venues, she can handle all sports. Great Job

Becky's story would make a great documentary film...GRIT

[@kevinkanter2537]

"... i gotta be here for the next camp ... make the next camp" --- this is motivation, the 'stress of evaluation' seem secondary to i gotta make it because this is so good ... Sauerbrunn on leadership: "leaders should create leaders... passing the torch, those who take it willl be better prepared than i" love the insight and just the determination --- and grit...

Since 2015 I measure every team’s back line/ defense performance against the USWNT. It was like watching the gears of well machined clock. I have huge respect for the sacrifice Becky made when FCKC moved to Utah.

[@jesseemullen]

I feel like this could've been awkward, given Kelley and Becky's differing views on some issues. But they handled it with grace - something a lot of people could learn from nowadays. Good episode 👍🏻

[@natesanti]

I love Becky, she has such a calm soothing strength.

[@cshetter6052]

Bruun is the real mvp

[@a_boss_lilly]

All I'm getting from all these players spilling tea on Jill is that she can't see talent if it slapped her in the face 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@nottoomuch87]

And yet, she's the president of a new NWSL team. Smh

[@a_boss_lilly]

@@nottoomuch87 The fact that I had a teacher like this. She was known around the school for not getting many student passes and not being able to teach yet she was the head of the math department and the dean. Yes I failed Advanced Math 🤦🏽‍♀️

SAUERBRUNN IS * Efficent= see things 2 seconds before it happends * Romantic/dreamer * Good friend, but vendictive (worst than me) * She is a really good friend, but if u take advantage of her, she leaves u in the shxx * She knows her value, so sometimes she seems snooty * It counts more how u say things, that the meaning She takes fire, get pissed so easily... that means that she wants the controll of the situation So making her a captain is a good things, cuz she become pragmatic And not a maniac of controll breaking baxxs
