She continues the conversation about the transition from coaching the women's game to the men's game and how she approached the change. She talks about her biggest challenges during her transition and how she stayed true to her coaching roots. Kim states that it is important to stay yourself and to not change your coaching style because you are not coaching a new gender. She says that players "will see right through you" and they won't support you in the same way. This is a lesson that many young coaches can take to heart and use in their everyday coaching. Kohl and Zak guide the last part of the conversation to goalkeeping and how she approaches goalkeeping today.
