ONE NATION. ONE TEAM. 23 Stories: Tobin Heath

For most of her adult life, Tobin Heath was a bit of a soccer vagabond. In this episode of 23 Stories, presented by Volkswagen, the U.S. WNT forward shares her love for Portland and her club, Portland Thorns FC, as she has finally put down roots and found a home. The importance of Portland to her as a person and a player in allowing her to express her creativity and share her passion for the game are things she'll always be thankful for.

She has that "always stoned" personality and I love it. She's so laid back.

Tobin's story in the last world cup's 23 stories was all about being a nomad. Now 4 years later, she has found a home and settled down in Portland. What a journey huh!

[@hoopoe16]

Good call out on the last World Cup's 23 Stories...So interesting to watch the 2015 features on the players who remain on the team juxtaposed against these!

[@sysya-schaatsen3998]

The influence of a certain Christen Press lol

Christen is the one who moved to Portland despite playing for Utah. She’s almost stalking Tobin but rumors are they’re together

[@sysya-schaatsen3998]

I love both Tobin Heath and Christen Press, it's like they are both talented in their own way, it's like you just want to mix both their DNA together and the perfect specimen of a future football player and beautiful human, their personalities are just so humble and down to earth, God bless them both

Old Soul. Free spirit. True light and inspiration. This chick genuinely helped me embrace who I am simply by seeing someone so settled in their own skin. Such an integral part of this team/in this world. Can’t wait to see you work your magic next week, Tobin!

[@timberwolfe338]

The real shame is that tobin can’t play soccer while wearing a hat....

[@bproseanne]

Yeah. She looks like hot and badass in caps/beanies. And glasses! OMG

[@peaceharmony4115]

I like Tobin Heath's blunt take on things: It's refreshing to have a passionate professional footballer emphasize that at one point she wanted excellence in the sport celebrated, rather than prioritizing players being role models and social activists -- in spite of the near constant media pressure all our women's players are under to talk about being great inspirations for young girls, etc... And she does this with a strong belief in giving back -- a clearly genuine gratitude and humility. This is to be celebrated. Oh... and Tobin has some pretty sick skills, too! 💕👍👌

[@sysya-schaatsen3998]

I think you can also credit the team for that. Some of them are very clear activists, some of them prefer to stay in the back and just play. Tobin has become way more socially involved in recent years but was never pressured into doing so by her more activism driven team mates. Nor were the activists on the team told not to do things by players like Tobin. It's a good balance. They respect each other and the choices they make even if they themselves wouldn't do it.

[@tobinheaths]

She's an inspiration to all. Beautiful inside and out.

[@bproseanne]

On the field she does most of the work and everyone benefits from it. She's the best.

[@ujevarabreznica8929]

Living in Paris I was disappointed to see France go out the other night, but what the US Womens' team has done for the profile and prestige of the game worldwide is amazing. So many Americans - men and women - here sporting US team guernseys. Glad they have caught the soccer bug. Anyway, now I'm off to go and search for "Tobin Heath Portland Highlights".

Laid back, " cool", fantastic technic, low profile, humble. A person who can inspire young girls, like Michaela Shiffrin, Magdalea Neuner. A star, but natural....not a natural star. Hope to see her again in Tokyo!
