U.S. women’s national team legend Julie Ertz has called her time from international football.
“As an athlete, you’re always singularly focused on the next goal, the next tournament and rarely do you get time to reflect on your career,” Ertz said. “However, over the past couple of months, my heart has been filled with gratitude as I’ve thought about the amazing experiences soccer has given me.
“I’ve been blessed to meet and train with some of the best and most inspirational women I’ve ever been around, and I’ve experienced different cultures while travelling the world to compete at the highest level. I gave everything I had to the sport that I love. With that, I can walk away with no regrets because while I gave soccer every ounce of myself, soccer gave me even more, and for that, I’ll always be thankful," she added.
