In today’s episode, I interview former professional soccer player and humanitarian Elli Reed.  Throughout her career, Elli played seasons in Boston, Seattle, Sweden, Germany and Australia. Over the years, Elli’s passion for giving back to her community has strengehtened. She continues to use her platform to support causes she believe in. Elli and I recently partook in a trip with the nonprofit Crooked Trails to help construct a soccer field in the remote village of Vicos, Peru. In our conversation talk about:-how this Peru trip changed her outlook on life and her future aspirations-why she thinks Vicos, Peru completely curbed her anxiety about everyday worries -Schooling little boys in pick-up soccer on the street -Dealing with the ups and downs of athletics and her ever-changing relationship with soccer -The documentary she watched that influenced her decision to go vegan -Her go-to artists that get her to drop it low on the dance floor  And more.
