Today wasn’t easy, but watching everyone come together to do what’s right for our players reminded me why these clubs are special. When it matters most, we protect our own.

Player safety will always come first. Always. 💜

A heartfelt thank you to both our club and KC Current - both ownership groups, soccer operations staff, and especially the medical teams - for making player health and safety the absolute priority. It was truly a team effort.

Signing new players in a transfer window is always exciting, but supporting and investing in warriors like these two women is the most rewarding part of this job. Their journeys remind us what resilience looks like and why we believe in the power of never giving up.

We’re in the business of investing in and supporting humans. In our culture, backing a woman who battles cancer and commits herself to wearing our crest again, and another who fights back from two ruptured achilles to don purple – that’s not just strategy, it’s what makes this work meaningful.
