Great game to take the youngin’s to! Amazing to see players from our last U23 camp with their WNT Debuts tonight! The future is bright!
To be the best, you need to train and play alongside the best. The U-23 team - our next generation - were on hand to watch the @USWNT face Ireland in Colorado. The U.S. Way emphasizes the need for players to gain early and repeated exposure to National Team environments.

Swapped my usual purple 💜 for the 🔴, ⚪️ & 🔵 this week, and what a blast it’s been! Truly grateful 🙌🏽 to work alongside so many passionate and dedicated people—on and off the pitch—who help keep us at the top of the game. Always an honor to wear the crest and rep the USA 🇺🇸

Childcare is up and running for the second time ever at Convention. There are still a few spots so if you are local or are already here with children - stop by and sign up! Marshall Field room at the Marriott.
“I travel a lot for work and I have never, ever been to a conference where child care was provided. I am deeply appreciative, as are my kids, because they can finally come along with me!” - Beth Pulawski

Katie Schumacher-Cawley was an All-American at Penn State, then became head coach in 2022. This fall, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. While battling cancer, she led her Nittany Lions to a championship—the first woman coach EVER to win an NCAA DI volleyball title.
