Gisele Thompson: Writing Her Own Story

What's it like to have a sister who's just 13 months older than you and plays the same sport? To be on the same teams, go to the same clubs, sign with the same pro team?

She and her sister Alyssa became the first siblings to start together in an NWSL game and the first to combine for a goal. In this episode, I'm exploring the unique pressure and opportunity of building your career side by side with family—and what it's like to be so young with so much already happening.
