Claudia Dickey on breaking into the USWNT, Scoring Penalties, and 2027 World Cup Dreams

DescriptionSeattle Reign and USWNT goalkeeper Claudia Dickey joins us to talk about her unconventional path to the top of the game—from juggling basketball and soccer at UNC, to scoring penalties, to earning her first USWNT call-up. Claudia opens up about starting her professional career in Seattle, what it meant to be called up for the national team, and what she’s focused on heading into January camp. We also look ahead to the 2027 World Cup and get a glimpse of who Claudia is off the pitch.
