14: Professional Soccer Player - Riley Parker

Kicking it with Professional Soccer Player Riley Parker aka Guerita

This episode we get a glimpse of stardom as a professional soccer star. Riley Parker shares her journey to becoming an international sensation in the soccer world and all of the hurdles she overcame to finally get her there. From getting past potential career ending injuries to proving to her coaches why she belonged, Riley broke through walls that would've stopped most other players.

Riley's career became possible when she committed to University of Alabama while still in high school and helped turn that program around from bottom ranked to being top ranked in the SEC and NCAA tourneys going all the way to the Final Four. She would go on to sign with Racing Louisville FC and where she later spent time during that season in Monterrey, Mexico playing for the Tigres.
