In today’s episode, I interview Icelandic national team midfielder Gunny Jonsdottir.

The second oldest of seven siblings, Gunny grew up a very independent person.

In 3rd grade, she moved from Iceland to America and picked up soccer. She quickly found comfort in the sport and has been playing ever since then.

Gunny made her debut for the Icelandic national team in Euro 2013 qualifying. She is a regular member of the Icelandic national team.

Gunny played 2 years with Utah Royals FC, playing every minute of the 2018 NWSL season and scoring Utah’s first goal in club history.

In today’s episode, Gunny talks about:

-how she deals with her anxiety

-the cool story of how she learned to speak english

-why she prefers Iceland to America

-what it was like coming back from 3 ACL tears

-how soccer forces you to be vulnerable

-her passion for helping people who have autism

And more.
