Alyssa and Gisele Thompson on Their NWSL & USWNT Careers and Being Teammates On & Off The Field

Tobin and Christen are getting ready for the upcoming NWSL season by welcoming NWSL and USWNT players, and sisters, Alyssa and Gisele Thompson. In this episode, Alyssa and Gisele discuss their incredible paths to being stars of the game at such young ages. How did their competitions growing up lead to their successes today? How did it feel for Alyssa to watch Gisele make her USWNT debut recently? And what are their dreams for their short-term and long-term futures? Then, Tobin and Christen surprise them with a game called “Sister vs Sister” where they have to agree upon who is faster, who would make the better boss, who would ask a celeb for a pic at an event… and who is more afraid of their teammate Christen Press.
