USWNT Legend and Portland Thorns defender, Becky Sauerbrunn, sat down with Rog on the day she announced her retirement for a personal conversation about her career and why she's deciding to leave now. They reflect on her unconventional path to become a leader on the U.S. Women's National Team, guiding the squad through "tough times" in the federation, and what she will miss most about the game.
