Description

What does it take to go from great to extraordinary, and stay there for more than two decades?

In this deeply personal episode, host Karina LeBlanc sits down with her former teammate and friend Christine Sinclair for an honest conversation that goes far beyond the game. After 16 years—through four World Cups, Olympic medals, and countless milestones—Karina offers a rare inside look at the person behind the legend.

Together, they reflect on Christine’s journey from a kid who lived on the soccer field to one of the greatest to ever play. She shares what kept her pushing when things got hard, how she refused to settle even at the top, and what it means to invest back into the sport that shaped her.

From her recent Hall of Fame induction and jersey retirement at Providence Park to her next chapter in life and Portland, this episode captures the heart of an athlete whose legacy was built not only on talent, but on resilience, loyalty, love for the game, and for the people in it.
