51-Tiffany Weimer-on starting side businesses to afford to play professionally and sleeping with her soccer ball

In today’s episode I interview professional soccer player and Duktig brand co-founder Tiffany Weimer.   Tiffany is a goal scoring machine. At North Haven High School in Connecticut, she scored 109 goals. At Penn State University, she netted 91 goals and holds the NCAA record for most consecutive games with goals scored with a total of 17. She earned Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year, was a Mac Herman Trophy runner up, the Big Ten Female Athlete of the Year, and Top Drawer Soccer Player of the Year.   Tiffany has played professionally for 10 years with stints in Finland, Brazil, Sweden, Denmark, and the US.   In the NWSL she’s played with the Portland Thorns, Washington Spirit, Boston Breakers, and is currently with the Houston Dash.   Tiffany was the kind of kid that named her soccer ball and slept with it at night. Her involvement in soccer extends beyond the pitch. Tiffany utilized her journal degree and became the founder and Editor-In-Chief of Our Game Magazine, a women’s soccer quarterly magazine. After 5 years, she decided to part ways, and recently co-founded The DuKtig Brand which provides planners to help players and coaches to be more organized, prepared, and professional at every level.   In our conversation we talk about:   -her appearance on The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 playing soccer with Blake Lively -the creative ways she makes money to be able to fund her career as a professional female athlete -why she felt she went about her college recruiting process entirely wrong -what she learned from playing overseas in Brazil and Finland -how journaling her training sessions helps her understand herself better. -the negative effects she believes GPS numbers and sports science has on players -how being a practice player further improved and enhanced her love for the game -the mental training app that she uses in the morning   And more.     Enjoy my conversation with the soccer-obsessed, journal-er Tiffany Weimer     Click HERE to become a part of Friday Feelz Click HERE for a list of the 10 books I believe ever female athlete MUST read.
