## Resource

Matt and Jay sit down with Bradley Wright-Phillips for a wide-ranging conversation about his journey from England to becoming one of the most prolific goalscorers in MLS history. BWP opens up about growing up with the family footballing legacy, the expectations he placed on himself, and more. We also talk about the culture shock of playing in MLS, the league's evolution, why he thinks the "retirement league" label is outdated, and what he loves about the freedom and unpredictability of MLS. And, of course, BWP tells some incredible stories from his playing days, including the match that he believes completely changed the trajectory of his career.
