What's more impressive than two accomplished women's soccer
players? How about if they are both successful entrepreneurs
scoring goals in the business world!
"You have to be willing to accept the information, you have to
be willing to work hard. You have to be motivated to go to practice
with an open mind. You have to be willing to be criticized. Only
you can do those things." - Brandi Chastain
Another big time coup for #TheClubroom
and the Make Your Mark podcast to have both
Brandi Chastain AND Haley
Rosen discuss their path from the pitch (field) to the
pitch (boardroom)!
Brandi and Haley each scored big in this Make Your Mark
podcast recording of our recent Clubroom event as we covered so
many important topics, including a blueprint on growing the
visibility of women’s sports, how to leverage your athletic career
to business success, and so much more!
“In business you can fight and advocate for yourself, and you should speak up and raise your hand” – Haley Rosen
Brandi Chastain - (USA Women’s Soccer World Cup and Olympic
Champion | Partnership Acquisitions - CityCheers Media)
Haley Rosen - (US and overseas professional soccer | CEO & Founder
- Just Women's Sports)
“It is an unforeseen future when you do have some type of
injury, to be honest with you I wasn’t ready to retire, I was
retired.” – Brandi Chastain
Both Brandi and Haley are not only fantastic speakers, but clearly
serve as role models for all who seek to become successful
entrepreneurs once their playing days have ended.
You will absolutely love this conversation I had with them both, truly inspiring, motivating and a ton of advice and insight – make sure you give this one a good listen – twice!
