LDG focuses on six players across the NWSL that he thinks are having a much bigger impact than the attention they’re getting right now. From buildup structure and pressing to midfield control and connective attacking play, this episode looks beyond just goals and assists and into the roles that actually shape matches week to week. LDG break down the style of the games of Mina Tanaka, Kat Rader and more: why they’ve stood out to him this season and why their archetype of a player consistently get overlooked in mainstream media conversations. He gets into tactical roles, development, game-state impact, and what these players reveal about where the NWSL is heading stylistically as the league continues to evolve. (podcaster's note: I hope this is as insightfully as an episode for you all as it was for me while researching! I learned a lot more about the tactics and numbers behind six incredible athletes in the NWSL that I had not gotten to talk much about on the pod before. I am proud of the final product, and I hope you all like it! - LDG Thank you for listening!
