Yael Averbuch, newly traded from the Utah Royals to the Seattle Reign, was recently at the United Soccer Coaches Convention in Philadelphia to help with the NWSL draft and showcase her training system, Techne Futbol. In between sessions discussing soccer and the league, she was able to talk to Stars and Stripes FC about what she thinks the new USSF president should do, her vision for the future of the league, and some of the ways she’s attempting to implement that vision from the player’s side by helping organize the NWSL Players Association.
The most recent blip in the news you might have seen from the NWSL PA was a tweet expressing their dissatisfaction that the league had not notified them first before releasing the start dates for preseason and opening weekend.
