In today's episode, LDG is joined by Tampa Bay Sun FC defender Brooke Hendrix!From childhood memories that instilled an enduring love of the game to dealing with the unknowns of post-graduation trial periods and having auditioned for clubs like the Dutch powerhouse AFC Ajax, the United States, and making her way from there to Glasgow City, Brooke tells the story of perseverance needed to build a career when the road ahead seemed uncertain. We talk about what the experiences meant for Brooke's mindset development, but also how playing in countries as diverse as Italy, England, and Australia, including winning an A-League championship with Melbourne Victory, impacted her skills and character on and off the field.Finally, we talk to Brooke about the current state of the women's footballing landscape, the differences between the NWSL and WSL, and the importance of being one of the founding players of the new league in USL Super League. At the moment, she is at Tampa Bay Sun FC and explains what made her want to join the club, the challenges of the transitional year, and how to establish chemistry among a constantly changing team trying to make it to playoffs. In closing, Brooke talks about her aspirations for the rest of the year, along with a rapid-fire segment that reveals the personality behind the player.Thank you for listening!
