This week Andrew talks with former US Women’s National Team soccer star Leslie Osborne. Leslie played for the US Women’s National Team from 2004 to 2009, including 5 starts at the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2007. In all, her professional career spanned 10 years — and she served as a team captain for every single one of the WPS & NWSL teams she played for. Leslie has been a member of the FOX Sports broadcast team since 2015. She’s also an entrepreneur and co-founder & owner of Bay FC, the new National Women’s Soccer League team that recently kicked off its inaugural season. This conversation is filled with actionable lessons about cultivating a strong work ethic, taking on new challenges, the power of raising your hand to help in new ways, & so much more. It’s also a powerful reminder of what’s possible when we work together with others to chase ambitious goals.
