People assume the US Women’s National Team was born on top of the mountain, but we weren’t. The story is from the beginning, no one in the world was afraid of us, we had never won a game, through the thrilling 2015 World Cup championship. Every coach and player who took over in this story had a piece to sew into our fabric and a part to play to make us better.
