Andy Sullivan: Injuries, Pregnancy & the Mental Game Behind the USWNT

Averie Collins Season 1 Episode 3

Joins Averie Collins and Dr. Stu Singer in the studio, Washington Spirit midfielder and U.S. Women’s National Team player Andy Sullivan opens up about the emotional weight of chasing rosters, recovering from injuries, and navigating pregnancy—all while staying in the game. 

In this honest conversation, Andy shares how she’s reshaping her mindset with mindfulness, affirmations, and new routines to rebuild confidence and reconnect with herself beyond the sport. 

They unpack the identity trap so many athletes face, the pressure to please, and why vulnerability and balance might be the most powerful tools in a high-performance life. 

The episode closes with a grounding mindfulness practice from Dr. Singer you can try wherever you are.
