In this MUST-listen episode, LDG interviews Makenna Morris. Makenna is a winger and fullback for the Washington Spirit and the US Women’s National Team youth system. In her second season in the National Women’s Soccer League, Makenna has played an instrumental role with the Spirit, as her versatility and ability to deliver complete performances on both sides of the ball have been notable. Makenna was a first-round draft pick in the last-ever NWSL draft, and she helped the Spirit make the NWSL Final last season with her epic assist in stoppage time in the semifinals.

Tune in for insights into Makenna's trajectory to the professional level, starting her career with the club she grew up supporting, and her recovery journey from injury last season to her joyous and incredibly successful return to the pitch. Makenna also shares insights into the first-ever Futures Camp and the time she spent with Emma Hayes, along with her future aspirations with the Spirit and the USWNT!
