Women In Sports

Today on the pod, we’re joined by U.S. Women’s National Team and Seattle Reign goalkeeper Claudia Dickey. Claudia is one of the top young American goalkeepers in the game right now, and we had such a fun, honest conversation with her about life in goal and everything that comes with it. From handling pressure in big moments to competing against your own friends, she gives a real look into the mindset of a goalkeeper at the highest level. If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to be a top keeper or just want to hang with one of the most fun personalities in the game, this one’s for you. This episode is brought to you by IDA Sports. If you’ve played soccer, you know the struggle of wearing cleats that weren’t actually designed for women’s feet. That’s exactly why IDA exists.
