"You have to be comfortable in your own skin, knowing that there's a place for you in this sport, that you belong," she explains, detailing how this self-acceptance journey prepared her for success both on the field and in business settings.Brianna doesn't just play soccer - she's reshaping the landscape through her Pinto Football Foundation, working to create opportunities for children from underserved communities. Her philosophy that "in order to believe you can become something, you have to see it" drives her commitment to mentorship and community building. As a two-time NWSL Challenge Cup champion and UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School graduate, she brings unique perspectives on balancing athletic demands with personal growth.Connect with Brianna :LinkedIn : Brianna Pintohttps://www.linkedin.com/in/brianna-pinto1/
