Challenge Cup Final Extravaganza: Conversations with Vanessa DiBernardo, Katie Johnson, Julianne Sitch, and Scott Parkinson

You know we had to do it to 'em. The Chicago Red Stars are back in an NWSL final, and we needed to talk to some Red Stars about it. First off, we sat down with Katie Johnson and Vanessa DiBernardo to talk the mentality needed for the long haul, bubble life, playing every other team in the tournament, growth, and a season in fast forward. Then we talked to Julianne Sitch and Scott Parkinson about many of the same things, including how they found their way to the Red Stars coaching staff, how squad integration worked in quarantine, how they've kept everybody going in the bubble, and how they feel they can bring home the hardware on Sunday
