Leslie Osborne: Working Together To Chase Ambitious Goals

This week Andrew talks with former US Women’s National Team soccer star Leslie Osborne. Leslie played for the US Women’s National Team from 2004 to 2009, including 5 starts at the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2007. In all, her professional career spanned 10 years — and she served as a team captain for every single one of the WPS & NWSL teams she played for. Leslie has been a member of the FOX Sports broadcast team since 2015. She’s also an entrepreneur and co-founder & owner of Bay FC, the new National Women’s Soccer League team that recently kicked off its inaugural season. This conversation is filled with actionable lessons about cultivating a strong work ethic, taking on new challenges, the power of raising your hand to help in new ways, & so much more. It’s also a powerful reminder of what’s possible when we work together with others to chase ambitious goals.
