Episode 009: Annie Hawkins grew up playing club soccer and ODP in Salt Lake City, Utah. After high school, she played Division I soccer at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington. She was a 4-year starter and holds 4 individual season records and 4 career individual records there including goals scored and career points.

After college, she played professionally in Sweden's top league, the Damallsvenskan. The WUSA had folded so a lot of the top players that were going to be drafted in that league went to Sweden. Annie got to play against players like Kristine Lilly, Marta, Hope Solo and coaches like Pia Sundhage. She also played on the USASA National Team and was part of the USWNT pool for 3 years. After playing in Sweden, she returned to Salt Lake City to play for Real Salt Lake Women, a semi-professional team and the Real Salt Lake MLS team's official Women's team. Annie was the captain of that team for 10 years.

Now, she works for Domo, a technology company in Utah and runs all of their social media. She also started a 501c-3 non-profit called Leaders League that teaches leadership to young athletes.
