Emma breaks down her journey from winning an NCAA National Championship with the UCLA Bruins to signing her first multi-year professional contract. Learn how the All-American playmaker overcame multiple major knee injuries to break out as a top rookie talent in the National Women's Soccer League and hear her expert tactical advice on navigating the transition from college soccer to the pro game. In today's incredible conversation, Emma shares what specifically made the Chicago Stars the right fit, and her first-ever professional preseason being highlighted by a training camp in Spain. Emma talks about how she looks back upon her time with NCAA women's college soccer powerhouse UCLA Bruins, recovering from two season-ending injuries in college/the resilience required and adversity faced by athletes playing at the highest level of soccer, and how Emma hopes that being a part of the Stars’ environment will help to continue to cultivate and develop attributes in her game as she enters the professional ranks. Additionally, Emma elaborates on how her team's identity continues to develop, making her professional debut in front of the avid (and her hometown) Angel City team/fanbase that her parents are season ticket-holders of, her goals on her career vision board, and her message to the fans of the Stars!
