The Australian wunderkind talks to Kelley about her unexpected journey to becoming one of the world’s greatest goalscorers.
Sam Kerr, the all-time leading scorer in both NWSL and W-League history, joins Kelley to discuss the unorthodox path she’s taken to becoming a global superstar. Sam discusses her lifelong passion for Australian rules football, why she was forced to switch sports by her family, how she went from picking up soccer at age 12 to debuting for the Australian national team at 15, why disappointment at the World Cup fueled her incredible rise, her recovery from two career-threatening injuries in less than a year, why she moved to Chelsea, winning equal pay, and what it means for Australia to be co-hosting the 2023 World Cup.
