157. Sam Fisher Returns!

Urban Pitch Podcast - The Beautiful Game of Life

Since we last spoke to Sam Fisher in August 2022, a lot has changed. The biggest update: She was called up to the El Salvador National team, and made her debut at the Gold Cup, where she scored the team's first goal in the competition.

Then came the not-so-good news. After returning from international duty, she was released from the Chicago Red Stars, and is currently in the market for a new club team (although she said there are a few options looming).

Such is the life of a pro athlete. One moment you might be celebrating your biggest accomplishment, only to turn around and face a setback. But Fisher has her eyes ahead to the future, and has been training non-stop since she's returned to Southern California. She re-joins the show (in person this time!) to discuss her experience with the Salvadoran national team, bouncing back from getting released, and what her goals are over the next few years.
