Vice President of Sporting for the NWSL and former New Zealand national team player Sarah Gregorius joins Sarah to talk about the “natural tension” between sport and business, the role the U.S. is playing in global soccer, how she’s working to fix the narrative that the league doesn’t center the sport of soccer enough, and how her lifelong tendency to be a troublemaker and agitator serves her on the job. Plus, the Olympics are doing a dangerous backstroke, a record climb to the Summit, and put on your party dress because you’re all invited to a Super Sweet 16.

Women’s hoops reporters Emma Baccellieri and Jordan Robinson join Sarah to chat about their new book Court Queens, which celebrates women’s basketball and the players and coaches who helped build its foundation.
