Lindsey Horan on Dedicating Her Life to Football, Facing Challenges & Achieving Dreams | Eurosport
Lindsey Horan, a standout midfielder for the USA, discusses her dedication to football and the challenges she faced. Starting in a small mountain town in Colorado, Horan was coached by her mother and aspired from a young age to become the best female soccer player in the world. Despite early skepticism, she excelled, eventually getting called into the U.S. women's national team camps and receiving multiple scholarship offers. Opting to play professionally in Europe instead, she joined PSG at 18 but faced difficulties adjusting to the new environment and cultural expectations regarding fitness.
Overcoming these challenges, Horan became a key player, ultimately moving back to the U.S. to join the Portland Thorns, where she thrived and made the Olympic qualifying roster. Although she faced setbacks, such as limited playtime at the Olympics and not starting in the World Cup final, she celebrated significant achievements, including winning a World Cup medal.
Horan's journey continued with a strong performance at the Tokyo Olympics, where despite not winning gold, she and her team secured a bronze medal. Now playing for Lyon, she reflects on her growth and the desire to prove herself in Europe once more. Looking ahead to the possibility of winning three World Cups in a row, Horan remains focused and optimistic about her team's chances.
