In today’s episode I interview Portland Thorns goalkeeper Britt Eckerstrom.

Britt is a really special soul. If you ever meet her, you’ll instantly feel her positive vibes. She is someone who is always down for adventure and incredibly open and accepting of everyone she meets. Britt grew up in Maryland. In high school, she ran cross country and played soccer. She then committed to Penn State. Britt captained the team her senior year and led them to win an NCAA championship-which she considers the greatest accomplishment of her career thus far. Britt was then drafted to the Western New York Flash, and later traded to the Portland Thorns, where she won an NWSL championship. She’s also played overseas in Australia with the Newcastle Jets, where she was a nominee for the leagues Player of The year.

In our convo we talk about:

why she likes putting herself in uncomfortable situations
her newfound competitive ping pong career
the wild story of how the day before she was leaving for her first professional season, her family house burnt down. She reflects on how she dealt with losing nearly everything she owned
why spending her off days hiking is one of the best things for her playing career
what it means to be in a flow state
the reason she always drives with her windows rolled down, regardless of the weather

And lots more!

Enjoy my conversation with the good-vibed, adventuring Britt Eckerstrom.
