For this week's episode we were fortunate to speak with Ali Riley. She’s a professional soccer player and the team captain of the New Zealand National Team. She’s a 3x Olympian, has played in 4 World Cups and is currently playing for Orlando Pride in the NWSL. We speak about her soccer journey through college and also about how she moved to Europe to play when the entire women’s soccer league in the US was shut down. She shares a lot of her thoughts on equality and women’s soccer, and speaks about how she wants to use her position on the New Zealand National team and her online platform to make a change and inspire the next generation of female soccer players.

Enjoy the episode!
