SAMI JO SMALL, 3 time Olympic Champion and NOT DONE!!
Sami Jo Small is a decorated Olympian, World champion, track athlete and she is still doing more. Jens and I were so impressed by this world class athlete who wants to change the name of the game for women in sport.
She talks about her journey from track and field to Olympic Goalie. Her path was unchartered and raw, now she has paved the way for so many young female athletes to come up the ranks.
We chat and joke and talk about parenting a bit, my favourite part, right? Jens is always fascinated by the characters of goalies and we get to that...... more than that.
What is her goal? What can this incredible woman want next for athletes?
Have a listen and BUY HER BOOK!!!!!! READ IT WITH YOUR KIDS.
