During the 2015 Women's World Cup and then even more so in the 2019 Women's World Cup, fans of the US Women's National Team came to know the name: Dawn Scott. The long time performance coach and sports scientist joined US Soccer in 2010. She remained with the program through multiple coaching changes and then, when the team made history as repeat World Cup Champions, players consistently referenced Scott as a key contributing factor. Many referred to her as the team's "secret weapon."
Scott joined Founding Futbol to recount her journey through the soccer world -- from breaking into the business through her current work as one of the world's leading soccer sports scientists. She recalls moments from her start with US Soccer, the 2015 and 2019 World Cup runs, and so much more.
Founding Futbol is a year-long exploration of the critical moments that have led to soccer's emerging popularity in America.

Correction: Some content in the show previously suggested the 2019 USWNT as the first women's team from any country to win back-to-back World Cups. That was inaccurate. Germany won both the 2003 and 2007 World Cups. The language in the show has been corrected.
