Angel City defender and NWSL original Merritt Matthias joins Sarah to talk about her decision to retire, how the NWSL has evolved from the first game to today, the legacy she’s leaving behind and how she’s working to accept her career disappointments and find worthiness in her accomplishments. Plus, the PWHL’s plan to expand, and poorly timed awards ceremonies.
