174. Kelli Hubly - Portland Thorns - Being Diagnosed with an Autoimmune Disease in Midst of Being a Collegiate Athlete Nov 04, 2022

Show notes

Today we chat with Portland Thorn's defender, Kelli Hubly. Kelli tells us about the exciting Championship win last weekend and what makes this Portland squad special as well what makes the backline work so well. We also found Kelli's college experience extremely inspirational, from being suspended on her collegiate soccer team to finding out she has an autoimmune disease that she had to step away from the game while learning how to heal and get better. Unlike most of our guests, Kelli didn't think about playing professional until her final season in college when she relearned her love for the game and decided she wanted to continue playing the game. She worked her way up from a practice player to a force to be reckoned with in the backline of the current champion team of the NWSL.
