“Salted Peanuts and Candy Corn” with Haley Carter from the Orlando Pride

In this episode Em and Ally are joined by Haley Carter, the VP of Soccer Operations and Sporting Director for the Orlando Pride to talk Haley's incredible resume and background, building team culture, being an advocate for your players and staff, and what it's like having generational players like Marta in your organization. We also talk the incredible roster of players from Barbra Banda to Emily Sams, The Offseason reality show, a fun but very random Girl Scout Cookie quiz, talk "this or that" and get Haley involved in our pizza rolls vs bagel bites debate as well as which field position Haley would love to play.


Thank you so much to Haley Carter and the Orlando Pride organization. Be sure to support the team as they continue their post season push in this weekend's upcoming playoff match against the Kansas City Current.
