Ali Krieger is a two-time World Cup winner, that also happens to be married to her teammate Ashlyn Harris, but her story travels far beyond these headlines. Ali's story, for me, is one of perseverance and mental fortitude. One of the kindest human beings you'll meet, also happens to be an incredible warrior on and off the pitch. If you need inspiration, give this a listen.
Most would have walked away from the game. Not Ali Krieger. She doesn't entertain the idea of failure. Whether it be breaking her leg or tearing her ACL, near death or being told she wasn't needed anymore. Ali's faced more than her fair share of setbacks, yet she continues to show us what a winner looks like. In this chat, Kevin and Ali dive into what's required to overcome major adversity. Ali opens up about quarantine with wife Ashlyn Harris, how domestic soccer in the US has evolved, issues with Jill Ellis, her 100th cap and the speech that followed, why the US Women's National Team are far more than just footballers, and that fairy tale ending in the 2019 World Cup final.
