## Resource

Annie, Ella & André (finally, according to Annie) turn our attention to the 2026 season! We start with a Trinity Rodman update, and answer why she was listed as 'unattached' for her USWNT callup, and give the latest on her contract situation. We also explain the NWSL's new High Impact Player Rule, including its many flaws. Then we dive into offseason moves to give sad goodbyes to Courtney Brown and Brittany Ratcliffe, and warm welcomes to Lucia Di Guglielmo and Sara Wojdelko. We also discuss when mutual contract terminations aren't exactly mutual. Thank you for listening, please subscribe, rate, and review — it means a lot to us! 🙏 ==================== Follow Us Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠heyspiritspod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bluesky: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠heyspirits.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ==================== Episode Music Track: Fungible — Hiracutch [Audio Library Release] Music provided by Audio Library Plus Watch: https://youtu.be/ILkTHxSNenI Free Download / Stream: https://alplus.io/after-rain
