Darian Jenkins is a retired pro turned analyst for CBS and DAZN.
Darian talks us through her discovery of the game during recess kick abouts to National Championships with UCLA and the injury that would ultimately curtail her career in the NWSL.
Easy to dwell on what might have been. Difficult to find a new direction. Unless the universe shows you one.
Off pitch she now finds herself in a stronger position to push change, challenging the narrative attached to players of colour and bringing a fresh perspective of the game.
We also touch on the meditative power of walking, the art of manifestation and 90’s ankle weights, teeing us up nicely for a part 2 down the line.
Enjoy!
