Episode notes
Most players spend their entire career mastering one position. Avery Patterson has played six. From central midfielder to center back to right wing to right back, she's reinvented herself at every level of soccer. In this episode, I'm talking about the Houston Dash MVP who went from second-round draft pick to NWSL Best XI in just two seasons — and how she scored two goals in an NCAA championship final and still lost. Plus, I'm sharing what it's like when you have to keep proving yourself in new roles, and why getting stuck in an elevator before your national team debut might actually be the most Avery Patterson thing ever.
