Urban Pitch Podcast - The Beautiful Game of Life

San Diego Wave/CanWNT Goalkeeper Kailen Sheridan


Listen Later

Even before she was making incredible penalty saves in heated rivalry matches, we knew that San Diego Wave's Kailen Sheridan was a baller. One of the top goalkeepers in the NWSL and a reigning gold medalist with the Canadian national team, Sheridan has been on our radar for quite some time.

So when she stopped Savannah McCaskill's penalty shot in the 74th minute of the most recent Chanclasico rivalry match against Angel City FC, it wasn't that much of a surprise. (It didn't make it any less impressive, however.)

Now in her sixth year in the NWSL, we talk to Sheridan about her gold medal experience at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics (02:10), the CanWNT - USWNT rivalry and winning the top goalkeeper award at the 2022 CONCACAF W Championship (16:06), the mental side of goalkeeping (18:56), playing alongside well established stars with the CanWNT (25:18), the Canadian men's national team and the upcoming Qatar World Cup (29:19), the Equal Pay settlement recently signed by the USWNT and the push to do something similar in Canada (35:16), the vibes with San Diego Wave (38:41), her ex-teammate DiDi Haracic's growth from backup to full-blown starter (44:34), the Angel City FC - San Diego Wave rivalry (46:37), and the growth of NWSL and where she'd like to see the league improve next (50:33), before going through Julio's hot seat round.
