Becky Sauerbrunn has won at just about every level imaginable. Olympic gold in 2012. Back-to-back NWSL championships with FC Kansas City. Back-to-back Women’s World Cup titles. And throughout her career, the United States Women’s National Team veteran and captain of the Utah Royals FC has shared the field with the best of the best.
But when Sauerbrunn hears Royals head coach Laura Harvey, her peers, the media or whoever say she’s the best center back in the world, something inside doesn’t allow her to believe it.
“I guess I've always thought that there are levels in me that I can't reach or sometimes reach for a little bit,” Sauerbrunn told The Salt Lake Tribune.
