Most kids that love the game dream of one day starring alongside the world's elite. I've had that same dream countless times, you know the one where you make your debut for one of the best teams in the world in front of a packed stadium and an international TV audience, you receive a pass from a superstar and score the winning goal in stoppage time! Incredibly that dream became a reality for Danny Karbassiyoon, who one day was playing high school soccer in Virginia, and the next he was playing alongside Thierry Henry, Denis Bergkamp, Cesc Fabregas and the Arsenal Invincibles! This is such an inspirational story, and I hope you enjoy! If so, click subscribe and check out Kevin's other chats. Cheers!

Most would have walked away from the game. Not Ali Krieger. She doesn't entertain the idea of failure. Whether it be breaking her leg or tearing her ACL, near death or being told she wasn't needed anymore. Ali's faced more than her fair share of setbacks, yet she continues to show us what a winner looks like. In this chat, Kevin and Ali dive into what's required to overcome major adversity. Ali opens up about quarantine with wife Ashlyn Harris, how domestic soccer in the US has evolved, issues with Jill Ellis, her 100th cap and the speech that followed, why the US Women's National Team are far more than just footballers, and that fairy tale ending in the 2019 World Cup final.
