In honor of the upcoming FIFA Women's World Cup, we are going back to season 2 to our conversation with U.S. Soccer Federation president Cindy Parlow Cone.

During this episode, we’ll hear about Cone’s path to becoming the first female president of U.S. Soccer, how she’s combatted sexism and inequality in the game, equal pay and collective bargaining, and how she’s leading the federation through turbulent times.

Editor’s note: This episode was recorded prior to the release of the Sally Yates-led investigation into abuse in the NWSL.
