We chat in this episode with Heather Rose about getting back on the soccer pitch as an adult! Heather has become incredibly passionate about adults continuing to play, invest in themselves and their skill, and have fun as a community.  Heather and Ashley met at Ali Krieger's adult soccer camp and we know you'll enjoy this episode - especially if you've been standing off on the sidelines waiting for permission to say, "Hey! I loved playing that as a kid - who said I had to stop once I became an adult?!" To find a local pickup game taking place, we suggest checking out MeetUp and searching for pickup soccer groups.
