Holiday was my favorite USWNT player for many years and has become one of my favorite humans. Great interview with a truly impressive person.
I always felt like Lauren could have played longer, but I respect her decision to retire early. I view her as an even better person than a player. Great interview….
Praise god? How about the surgeon?
God bless Lauren for having the strength to fight the tumor. But I was crushed and looking for Lauren only to find out she changed her name to Holiday.. She was a with that amazing class of womens soccer that won those gold cups and medals.. just think how much better Alex Morgan and those guys would've been if she was able to hang around.
What a great life and love story. Such great role models for young people
Great interview with a legend!!
Best gad damn decision Drew ever made.
This was a good convo. I like Drew Holliday, his wife seems very competitive lmao thats dope tho!
American Kate lol
One of the best midfielders USA ever produced… ❤
Kate Abdo's accent?
The best interview on the internet from a player that was "killing it" when she retired. Thank you for sharing your life, struggles and education not taught in a classroom, but lived. You are an inspiration for "humans" Mrs Holiday.
She is strong and a hero!!!
Jrue Holiday is a man of God.
Tone deaf.
