Welcome back! In this episode, we delve into the heart of soccer—exploring the unique journey of Maya Antoine, who transitioned from a Canadian youth national player to a college player at Vanderbilt University and is now playing professionally in Sweden with Sam! Learn about the differences between the Canadian and U.S. sports systems and get a closer look at the shifting landscape of youth soccer.
The discussion is a deep dive into the larger aspects of professional sports - the opportunities that international soccer provides, the controversy of high school soccer, and the challenges athletes face, such as recovery from injuries. Both Maya and Jordyn share how painful it is to be an injured player on a team but also the personal growth one can gain by pushing through such a difficult experience.
We want to thank our sponsor, UNILINK Sports.
