Lauren Holiday's Story - "One Nation. One Team. 23 Stories."

Open-heart surgery at the age of three didn’t slow down Lauren Holiday, who enjoyed a childhood replete with competition against her siblings, which led her to a first call-up for the U.S. Women’s National Team at the tender age of 17. Now 27, the central midfielder has grown up on the U.S. team and into one of the team’s most important players.

[@jeffmccallister8648]

Lauren, thank you for making this video. My 8-year-old daughter has a CHD and watching this video after watching the team kick ass the other night made a real impression on her and helped her realize how strong she can be!

[@CTRTree3]

Most underrated player on the team.

[@ricardoquispe8258]

She's so cute! World Cup Champions, Congratulations!

[@joellegillespie85]

I still can't get over the fact that she is retiring. Hopefully she'll come back in a few years because she still has some more years in her

[@lukephan63]

Cheney can't even fake being mean.

[@caitlinveitz9525]

I love this story. When I found out I was having a daughter I was so happy to think I'd have a little soccer buddy, until I leaned of her CHD. Hopefully my daughter can instill the same rough and tumble attitude as Lauren.

[@javidon6294]

She's a Christian, that's what Jesus preached love all, this world would be such a great place if each one try to be more Christlike, love Lauren and Jrue great christian principles, just like Paul

[@johnnycardozo4199]

Get well Lauren! I heard the news on GMA this morning, I was like damn, I had to rewind it to actually believe it. I'm not your biggest fan but just know a lot of people care about you, including me. Like I said, I was like dang, I was upset when I heard about it. My gut feelings are always on point & always right! You're going to have a successful surgery after you have your beautiful, healthy child & everything is going to be great. Trust me on that one. God is going to look out for you.

Lauren holiday... So nonchalant but a monster on the field

[@petacappello5197]

Lucky they found your ASD when you were 3 otherwise you would have ended up damaging your heart and lungs like I did. I ended up having a heart and double transplant at 38! congratulations. Awesome young lady you are. So proud of you

[@ufc0408]

Just remembered that Jrue is married to Lauren Cheney *facepalm* after seeing this video. If I ever see her at a game, I'll cry #TakeFlight #GoPels
