Preseason Buzz: NWSL, SheBelieves & The Future of Girls Soccer with The GA's Trish Hughes

With the NWSL season around the corner, hosts Rohtas Wadera and Sam Angel are talking all things preseason. Sam checks in from camp with the Chicago Stars, sharing what it’s like integrating new players, building chemistry, and preparing for the grind of a new NWSL season. It’s equal parts excitement, nerves, and the behind-the-scenes moments fans rarely get to hear about. The duo also dives into the SheBelieves Cup, where the USWNT continues to set the tone on the international stage. Rohtas and Sam break down why the tournament matters, what it means for player development, and how it continues to showcase the depth and future of the women’s game. This episode also features a fantastic conversation with Girls Academy Commissioner Patricia “Trish” Hughes, who shares her vision for the future of youth soccer for girls. From expanding opportunities to empowering the next generation of players, Trish talks about how the GA is building meaningful pathways for young athletes across the country. To wrap things up, Rohtas and Sam look overseas to preview the Women’s Champions League, highlighting the matchups to watch and what’s at stake as Europe’s top clubs battle it out. If you love the women’s game — from youth development to the pros — Episode 88 of Give N’ Go has you covered.
