World Cup Soccer to Sportsnet Personality, to Entrepreneur | Caroline Szwed | YODT EP TWENTY THREE

You might recognize ⁠@carolineszwed⁠from her time as an on-air personality with ⁠#Sportsnet⁠, but her story starts way back on the field. A former national team player, Caroline represented Canada in the 2008 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup and earned back-to-back Canadian Player of the Year nominations.
Her talent earned her a spot to play Division 1 soccer at ⁠#WestVirginiaUniversity⁠, but a devastating knee injury during her time there led to three surgeries, ultimately ending her athletic career.
Instead of staying sidelined, Caroline pivoted-turning her passion for football into a thriving platform. Now with 600k+ followers, international brand deals and dubbing herself a Professional Football Yapper, her knowledge, passion and love for the game have built something bigger than just the pitch-a community that shares her passion for football.
This week, Caroline’s bringing her story to the mic. From resilience to reinvention, she’s living proof that even when life throws you a curve, you can still find your own net. Trust us, you’ll want to hear this one.
