When we played that Round of 16 match against South Africa and Steph scored that winning goal, the moment itself made me emotional.

When a player starts collecting milestones, they begin to look like a destination.

For Jess De Filippo, they are better understood as markers.

Not proof that she has arrived, but evidence of everywhere she has been.

I was fortunate enough to be apart of one of the best goalkeeping groups in the World Cup. What really stood out to me was the humility and personality of the group. These guys are the best of the best, yet welcomed me like one of their own and showed up everyday with intent to get better.
