1985.
Yes, we need to go back in time!
Back, to a time when the USWNT didn't exist. Back to a time when the entire soccer landscape was radically different. Back in time, to appreciate where we were, so we can rocket back to the present time!
Kim Wyant has participated in a lot of 'firsts' in her career:
- First US Women's National Team Goalkeeper
- First US Women's National Team
- First women to lead an NCAA D1 Men's College Soccer program
And she has handled it all in stride. As she puts it on the episode 'I was in the right place at the right time.'
However, as we all know there is a bit of hard work to go along with that luck and Kim has it in spades!
In this episode of the podcast, Kim Wyant shares her perspective of growing up playing soccer, representing the USWNT, and now coaching the NYU men, enjoy!
