Welcome to another episode of The Big Light Podcast, where we dive deep into the world of soccer with our dedicated and ambitious guests. This week, Jordyn chats with Brooke Allen, a high school senior entering the University of Wisconsin next fall. Jordyn and Brooke went to the same high school in Ohio and played one season when Brooke was a freshman.

With the signing day ink just barely dry from Brooke's commitment, we go super granular as they discuss everything from dreams and expectations and recruitment strategies, the anticipation and challenges of joining a new team, and invaluable insights into the impact of social media and recent policies affecting the sporting landscape.

They also discuss real-life challenges, such as sustaining injuries and the subsequent recovery process, and common misconceptions about high school VS club soccer, highlighting the inherent value presented by both platforms.

Episode 5 will give future soccer aspirants priceless advice on joining a club team, practicing resilience and tenacity, and the importance of unwavering belief in your abilities.
