Episode 234 of the Women's World Football Show features an exclusive interview with author Heidi Smith.
Just when you think you know everything about women’s soccer, a book comes around to let us know that there is still so much more to learn!
We take a deep dive into Heidi’s new book, “Play On: From Adversity to Advantage through 140 Years of Women’s Soccer.”
We’ll also share soundbites from Angel City FC and New Zealand international defender Ali Riley announcing her retirement from soccer.
