About this episode

Savy King shares her journey of recovery and personal growth after a life-threatening incident during a soccer match.

This is episode 4 of Stronger than Ever, a show about big dreams, unexpected obstacles and the rise to becoming the strongest version of yourself.  On May 9, 2025, Savy King collapsed on the pitch during an NWSL match. When she woke up in the hospital, her first question was if she’d ever play soccer again. 310 days later, after open heart surgery, she was back on the field for Angel City FC.  She returned stronger than ever, on and off pitch. She details how she came back physically, what she learned mentally and her new outlook and perspective on life. Play Rebel ⚡ Stay Rebel
