USWNT captain Becky Sauerbrunn details how, despite being an introvert, she steps up and vocalizes for change regarding gender inequality.
She then made her USWNT senior debut in 2008 after rising through the ranks of the youth teams. In 2016, she was named captain of the team alongside Carli Lloyd during the Rio Summer Olympics.
“Because I remember going into the national team and we were getting like eight or 10,000 people at our games, whereas the men, you know, they were selling out, you know, 25, 26,000 people at their stadiums and not understanding why that was, not understanding anything about investing early on to see a return on the investment later on, and thinking like, well, no wonder the men make more money than us, like they get more people at these games.
Telemundo’s Ana Jurka and Andrés Cantor break down the biggest strength for the U.S. women's national team at the 2023 Women's World Cup. But while most fans and supporters only saw the final result, they don’t see or experience the specific details and preparation that go into fighting for something as important as gender inequality.
“I don't think I've ever gotten over it.” she said. “I think I've embraced the uncomfortableness of putting myself out there. I think what really changed for me is knowing how important these issues are and how important it is to lend your voice to it and whether that's you're in the forefront or you're amplifying someone else's message.
