Episode notes

Talent Takes Time is back with a new series. And first up we have Abby Wambach, a World Cup winner and the all-time leading goalscorer for the USWNT.

Abby enjoyed a phenomenal football career, but when she retired faced all sorts of challenges with TV punditry and personal battles as she attempted to define herself in the next stage of her life.

We're proud of this episode as it takes the narrative into areas even we didn't expect. Abby is honest and candid in her self-assessment and is a true inspiration. 

We hope you enjoy it.
