The women’s game has come a long way in the US. The female stars of today make millions of dollars and play in front of sold out American stadiums. But it was not always so. The generation prior to them – of which Tisha Venturini was one of the best – did not have a league to play in. They would go from winning World Cups to giving lessons to young girls for $25/hour to make ends meet. They were on their own to keep fit until the Olympic Games would come along – and after winning the gold they would have to go and wait tables until the next tournament. You were kind of on your own to piece together your own career.  It is deeply satisfying for Tisha to see that she and her crew left the game in far better shape for the young women of today than they found it. I found Tisha’s journey fascinating – and even more so because we will not see the likes of it again. I hope you enjoy our conversation here. SoccerPod #9 – Tisha Venturini    Thank you for listening!
