USA defender on her new Just Women’s Sport podcast and the squad’s resolve to carry on fighting for what they believe in
After the USA won the Women’s World Cup in France last year, Kelley O’Hara wrote on Instagram, “Maybe one day I’ll be able to put this journey into words”. One rollercoaster year on and she still can’t. “I don’t know if I ever will be able to because there was just so much emotion and it’s difficult to express through words,” she says with a laugh.
The 31-year-old defender has just finished playing in the NWSL Challenge Cup, hosted by her club, Utah Royals. “It wasn’t the ideal ending,” she says of their one win, one draw and three defeats in the first return of professional sport in the US.
