Racing Louisville's Jordyn Bloomer on Monumental NWSL Breakout Season and Penalty Kick Preparation

About this episode

Jordyn Bloomer discusses her journey in soccer, her breakout season with Racing Louisville, and her preparation for penalty kicks.

In today's episode, LDG is joined by Racing Louisville FC goalkeeper Jordyn Bloomer! Jordyn walks us down memory lane to her earliest memory playing soccer before moving on to share how her success at Wisconsin, earning Big Ten Conference Goalkeeper of the Year honors twice and first-team All-American honors, helped prepare her for the professional ranks. Jordyn talks about her experience going on loan to the A-League and playing alongside world-class players, which helped her grow confidence in the pros ahead of returning to Racing. Coming off an incredible year in Australia, Jordyn was ready to return to Racing to compete for the number 1 spot, but suffered a season ending injury, and she shares how that struggle made the return to the pitch (and claim of Racing's number 1 goalkeeper spot) that much more special. Lastly, Jordyn unpacks her star season and the team making the playoffs for the first time in the cub's history, how she prepares so successfully to stop penalty kicks from the opposition, why she re-signed with Racing, how preseason this year went, + so much more!
