On today's MUST-listen episode, Liam is joined by Cameron Brooks, one of the newest signings for the North Carolina Courage and one of the most inspiring stories in women's soccer right now.In this engaging discussion, Cameron reflects on her journey: from starring at the University of Texas alongside future professional and international players like Holly Ward, Emma Regan, and Trinity Byars, to suffering a devastating ACL injury after college that forced her to navigate rehab independently while working multiple jobs to continue chasing her dream of becoming a professional footballer.Cameron opens up about moving overseas to Spain, training with the academies of the Portland Thorns and San Diego Wave, working at a gym in New York City for access to equipment, and continuing her development with Brooklyn FC's boys academy and the Long Island Rough Riders before eventually signing her first professional contract with Fort Lauderdale United ahead of the inaugural Gainbridge Super League season.The conversation also dives into her breakout rookie campaign with Fort Lauderdale United, the club's run to the playoffs, and how her move overseas to Napoli Femminile helped elevate both her technical ability and mentality in possession-based systems.Lastly, Cameron also discusses why the Courage project under Mak Lind appealed to her, how preseason has gone with so many new faces in the squad, the goals she has for the 2026 NWSL season, and so much more!Thank you all for listening!
