Moving to Grow with Alyssa Thompson

U.S. Women’s National Team and Chelsea FC forward Alyssa Thompson joins Sarah to talk about her decision to sign across the pond in the WSL, leaving her sister Gisele behind at Angel City, and her goals looking ahead to the 2027 Women’s World Cup and 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Plus, returning with a banger, shipping out of Boston, and fellow bi-furrious folks rejoice - a new mascot has arrived just in time for Sarah’s birthday!
