    Make a Difference with Bri Campos

    In this episode we are joined by the current Tottenham Women's First Team assistant coach Bri Campos to hear all about her perspective on how to nurture growth and development in players, what it takes to build a winning culture, and her definition of mental toughness. Although she is currently in the midst of an impressive coaching career, Bri has an outstanding resumé as a player as well. Her journey started in her youth soccer days with Colorado Rush before she went on to play division 1 soccer at Baylor University. She always knew she wanted to be a professional and her work ethic and mental toughness earned her international experience with Mexico's youth and senior national teams and eventually professional contracts in both Finland and Sweden. We hope you all love this episode and learn as much as we did from Bri's journey and perspective! Also... don't forget to make a difference, and support women's sports! @spurswomen @bri_campos10
