This is the Debrief.

One soccer game, each week. Debriefed by USWNT legend and 2x World Cup Champion Tobin Heath

This week's match: NWSL's Portland Thorns vs. Seattle Reign

"The Debrief is a concept that comes from the U.S. Women’s National Team.

A sports psychologist came in before the 2019 World Cup to figure out the marginal gains - what could we do that no other team was going to do to win that World Cup?

We’d go on the field for 90-plus minutes. And no matter what happened - win, lose, or tie - we’d come back to the locker room, sit down, and debrief.

What did that look like? Everybody just getting out all of their energy on the past game. Their feelings. Their emotions. Holding each other accountable. Whether it was the good, bad, or ugly it was a time to expel all of our feeling about the game. And then we’d wipe our hands and say ‘onto the next game.’

Doing it collectively as a team was a game changer. It completely unlocked our ability to move through tournaments in a positive way.

So we took this concept and put it into this show. I’m going to watch one game every week, and then I’m going to just expel all of my feelings about the game and together we’ll Debrief.”

- Tobin
