The Athlete’s Commute
There’s a new Her Sports podcast episode!
We're taking our mission a step further to put you in the passenger seat with the people shaping the women's sports industry.
Our second guest is Sierra Enge!
Sierra opens up about what it took to leave the San Diego Wave, her best friends and a life 20 minutes from her parents to take a leap into European soccer. She walks us through the biggest adjustments at every stage of her career and why learning to sit in uncertainty has been one of the most important skills she has developed. As she competes in France’s top division with RC Strasbourg, we also get into why she believes mental health is never a one size fits all conversation.
If you have ever wondered what life actually looks like for an American playing overseas, this one is for you.
