Hey everyone, it’s Angela here from Casual FC! In this super chill episode, I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Jackie, the powerhouse behind Women Kick Balls. We've been itching to get her on the show since day one because, honestly, Jackie is just dope. We dove right into her journey of braving the sports journalism world, a path she boldly chose despite being told it was a dying field. And let me tell you, the story behind the name 'Women Kick Balls' is as cool as it gets, partly inspired by Sydney Leroux’s Twitter bio and fully backed by the most important men in her life. We also got into the nitty-gritty of the NWSL season - from the excitement around expansion teams and rookies to the curious case of off-season moves and the ever-rotating coaching carousel. Jackie shared some insightful and funny experiences from attending games, navigating the sports journalism world, and the importance of representation in media. And yes, there were lots of laughs, some insider's look into the freelancing grind, and anticipation for what's shaping up to be a bonkers NWSL season. And of course, we couldn’t help but get a bit nostalgic about the legends of the game while looking forward to the fresh faces. So, hit play and join us for an episode filled with soccer love, giggles, and maybe a tiny bit of fangirling over Jackie and everything she's doing over at Women Kick Balls.FOLLOW US ON SOCIALINSTAGRAM | TWITTER | TIKTOK | THREADSSUPPORT THE POD1) Leave a review where ever you listen!2) Buy fun merch at shop.casualfc.com3) Buy us a coffee at buymeacoffe.com/casualfcpodFind other great WoSo pods at https://casualfc.com/support-woso-pod00:00 Introduction and Behind the Scenes00:32 Welcome to the Podcast and Guest Introduction01:54 Jackie's Journey in Soccer Journalism01:58 The Birth of 'Women Kick Balls'04:26 Jackie's Freelance Life and Soccer Coverage05:09 Fun Interactions and Stories06:10 Recalling the Draft Day11:24 Looking Forward to the New Soccer Season11:32 Excitement for New Teams and Rookies12:39 Anticipation for Off-Season Moves and Coaches13:46 Reflecting on Changes in the League15:20 Discussing Age and Athletic Performance15:49 Reflecting on Soccer Legends16:42 Anticipating the Energy of West Coast Teams17:21 Debating Time Zones and Game Schedules19:50 Experiencing Soccer as a Fan21:13 Navigating the World of Sports Journalism24:40 Anticipating the Upcoming Soccer Season27:13 Wrapping Up and Looking Forward ★ Support this podcast ★
