In today's MUST-listen episode, LDG interviews San Diego Wave and Jamaica WNT defender Mimi Van Zanten, one of the top teams in the National Women's Soccer League, widely regarded as the world's most competitive women's soccer league.

In this engaging discussion, Mimi takes us inside the San Diego Wave FC training environment, explains why she left university early to join the Wave, what made San Diego Wave FC so appealing, what it's like to be a prospective player in a no-draft ecosystem, and so much more!

Mimi shares what it was like to play against world-class players like Alyssa Thompson, Cat Macario, and the USWNT as a whole while still in college, the lessons she is taking from Florida State, and her sister, Kiki Van Zanten, who plays for the Houston Dash, and the goals Mimi has ahead of the 2026 NWSL season.
