Alyssa Naeher, one of the greatest goalkeepers in U.S. and world history, joins the U.S. Soccer Podcast for the first of a two-episode interview.
The legendary USWNT goalkeeper sits down with friend, host and former teammate Meghan Klingenberg (2:35). The two have known each other since they were 12 years old and reminisce on some of their favorite memories growing up together playing soccer, including the confident letter they penned asking FIFA to implement a U-17 Women’s World Cup (13:00).
Naeher goes into further details about her career and her position, including what first drew her to the controlled chaos of goalkeeping (17:00). She delves into some of the lesser-known moments of her career, including her stint with the Boston Breakers in the WPS (37:00) and what she learned serving as a backup goalkeeper in the USWNT’s run to FIFA 2015 World Cup champions (43:20).
Naeher also talks about growing up a coach’s kid in Connecticut, where she will be honored before the upcoming U.S. Women’s National Team match against Portugal on Sunday, Oct. 26 at Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field in East Hartford, Connecticut.
