Episode 123: LDG Interviews USWNT and Racing Louisville FC Midfielder Taylor Flint!!!

In today's episode, LDG interviews USWNT and Racing Louisville FC Midfielder Taylor Flint!!!

Taylor is a midfielder for Racing Louisville FC, who has also represented the USWNT. Before joining the professional ranks, Taylor played collegiate soccer with the Colorado Buffaloes, scoring 39 goals throughout four seasons. Taylor was the third pick in the 2020 College Draft by the Orlando Pride, and she combined with Marta, Alex Morgan, among others, as a 10, impressing fans. She moved with Alex Morgan to the expansion side, the San Diego Wave, taking on a larger role and earning a senior call-up to the USWNT. Ahead of the 2024 season, Taylor joined the Louisville side and switched positions from the ten to the six without missing a beat. This season specifically, Taylor has shone, placing her as a frontrunner in both the NWSL Midfielder of the Year and NWSL MVP races.

Tune in to hear Taylor talk about the personal differences between the youth and senior international realms, playing youth soccer with Cat Macario + Tara McKeown, and why Racing was (and still is) such an attractive project to join.

Additionally, be on the lookout for questions on Taylor's experience playing on the senior USWNT, her first season being interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and her time at San Diego/Orlando!

In the rapid-fire section, we get to learn more about Taylor off the pitch. As this is our first interview with listener-submitted questions, stay tuned until the rapid-fire section at the end to hear the majority of questions submitted, with some being placed throughout the main portion of the interview.
