Shannon Higgins-Cirovski: Blazing A Trail In Women’s Sports

This week Andrew reflects on the remarkable momentum in women’s sports over the past few years & sits down with women’s sports trailblazer Shannon Higgins-Cirovski. Shannon was a star midfielder for the US Women’s National Soccer Team in the 1980s and early 90s — and played a pivotal role in the team’s championship run at the first ever Women’s World Cup in 1991. In 2002, Shannon was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame — at the time, just the 3rd woman to be bestowed that honor. In this conversation, Andrew & Shannon explore her trailblazing journey & the success secrets behind her extraordinary career. This episode is filled with actionable ideas on leadership, finding your strengths, overcoming fears, & so much more. Show Highlights:0:00 - Intro4:30 - USWNT early days6:50 - “It was a struggle but I wouldn’t change it for the world”7:24 - Learning from coaching legend Anson Dorrance10:40 - Pushing past your boundaries11:25 - First Women’s World Cup13:33 - USWNT intensity17:29 - Playing against Michelle Akers in college18:30 - Doubling down on commitment 19:31 - Unique contributions of different teammates20:32 - Finding strengths & mitigating weaknesses25:02 - 1991 World Cup title run26:01 - Reflecting on decades-long movement in women’s sports31:09 - Shannon’s “one thing”** Follow Andrew On Social **Twitter/X: @andrewhmosesInstagram: @AndrewMoses123Sign up for e-mails to keep up with Andrew's podcast at everybodypullsthetarp.com/newsletter
