Soccer, USWNT, Portland & Life With Meghan Klingenberg

Welcome back to Out Of The Spotlight! This week we are joined by someone who has forever changed the world of soccer. We are talking about the one and only, Meghan Klingenberg! 

Meghan has been a fan favorite since day one. She is a one-time FIFA Women's World Cup champion and recently won her second NWSL Championship... So yes, she is pretty freaking good at playing soccer but there is way more to her story.

Meghan and Stephanie will talk about how her soccer career kicked off, being absolutely nervous when she was called up to the US Women's National Team, winning the 2015 World Cup, and her time in the spotlight during that crazy year.

We also get to hear about her favorite person ever, her brother Drew. Shoutout to Drew!

Meghan also talks about her time on the Houston Dash which eventually led her to her current team, the Portland Thorns. And of course, she takes us back to winning the 2022 NWSL Cup and all the hard work it took getting to that trophy.

Her wish is to leave this beautiful game better than before. Her hope is that all the work she is doing right now will create a level playing field.

In 2019, Meghan joined forces with teammates Megan Rapinoe, Tobin Heath, and Christen Press and together they founded "Re—Inc". She explains why and how their lifestyle brand came together. 

And yes, there will be a rapid fire session - Meghan and Steph will forever be known as the rapid fire masters. 

There are many amazing takeaways from this conversation so get ready to have Meghan take you behind the scenes of her wild ride so far. And this is just the beginning!
