Today on the podcast we chat with North Carolina Courage's Ryan Williams. We chat with her about how she has focused on becoming a "complete" pro focusing on the extras with fitness, nutrition, recovery, etc and how putting in the effort to do the little things goes a long way. We also talk about how she was recruited as a forward and then was moved to a defender, but she stayed positive and showed she was up for the job because she wanted to be on the field and be versatile.We also loved talking about how you have trust and a good relationship with teammates off the field it can help to translate to playing together as well.
