The 2025 NWSL Coach of the Year, Racing Louisville FC’s Bev Yanez, joins Sarah to talk about the type of evolution she’s hoping to see from her team this season, how an inauthentic first season as a head coach forced her to step into her own form of leadership, how much has changed since she retired as a player six years ago, and the importance of shared expectations when saying “yes” to a new job. Plus, another attempt at “Sorry,” it’s core season, and wake up, babe — a new Sue Bird job just dropped.
