It's a good insight into her thinking 3 years ago and you can see where her thinking for Girls DA came from.
In regard to High School "Another reason the rest of the world has caught up is that their best 16 - 19 years olds are playing in the first division professional league in their country, when ours are playing down. Our teenagers are playing high school soccer, which is not the most challenging environment."
I find it ironic that she describes her role as taking a lead in PARTNERING with ODP and elite clubs and then 3 years later she introduces a league that does not allow ODP participation and without cooperating with the elite clubs. I think the minute they say the viewership numbers for the Women's World Cup they saw dollar signs and all the cooperation went out the window.
