She also celebrates her first goal of the season and reflects on the personal significance of the win against Penn State.
Meanwhile, Sam reveals her recent nose injury, marking her fifth broken nose, and the humorous yet frustrating consequences it has on her daily life and team dynamics. Despite the setback, Sam remains optimistic and focused on her professional journey in Sweden. The duo also discusses the latest developments in the Big Ten Conference, including the surprising struggles of Nebraska and the impressive performances of newcomers UCLA and USC. They delve into the challenges of long away streaks and the impact of key players like Minnesota's Kaya Harper, who is currently one of the top goal-scorers in the nation.
On a serious note, Sam and Jordyn address the topic of burnout, a common issue faced by athletes at all levels. They share their personal experiences and strategies for managing burnout, emphasizing the importance of finding balance, reconnecting with the love of the game, and having a support system outside of soccer.
