264. Andrea Rán Snæfeld Hauksdóttir – Owning the Journey
On this week’s pod, we sat down with Icelandic midfielder Andrea Rán Snæfeld Hauksdóttir — currently playing for Tampa Bay Sun and the Icelandic national team — for a raw, insightful conversation about resilience, reinvention, and rewriting your own playbook.
From qualifying for the Euros but not making the final squad,
to choosing college soccer at USF over going pro at a time,
to embracing every setback as fuel for the next chapter.
We also talk about:
⚽ Her journey across Iceland, France, NWSL, Mexico & now Tampa Bay
🧠 Mental toughness and self-accountability
📚 Why college soccer was the right path for her
🚗 And how she’s learned to stay in the driver’s seat of her own career
This one’s for anyone who’s felt overlooked, underestimated, or in need of a reminder that setbacks aren’t stop signs.
