What It Takes to Be a FIFA Referee with Kate Jacewicz
<p>On our final audio episode of Here for the Long Ball I share the conversation I had with trailblazing FIFA referee Kate Jacewicz. She was the first woman to ref in the A-League, which is the highest-level of pro men's soccer in Australia. We met at the 2015 World Cup as soccer fans and I was super excited to see her realize one of her dreams of reffing a World Cup in 2019. I talked to her right after the tournament was over and through Kate, I got a behind-the-scenes understanding of what it's actually like to become a ref at that level, what goes through their minds when they are on the pitch, how fit they have to be, and how VAR actually works (it's fascinating and frustrating!!!). Check it out.</p> <p>Music: Nujabes' "Feather"</p> <p>Edits: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/corey-miller-67295bb1">Corey Miller</a></p>

Telling the Stories of the Women Warriors Behind the Beautiful Game
<p>On this episode, I hang out with Brazilian activist and documentary producer Kely Nascimento-Deluca and American award-winning author of <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Raised-Warrior-Memoir-Leveling-Playing/dp/1948062828/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=raised+a+warrior&qid=1627940348&sr=8-1">Raised a Warrior</a>, Susie Petruccelli, who both shared with me what it was like to travel the world and see behind the scenes of the lives of female soccer stars across the globe. Together they filmed the soon-to-be-released doc, <a href="https://warriorwomenoffootball.com/#">Warriors of a Beautiful Game</a>, which "provides an unprecedented look at the evolution and current status of the fastest growing game in the world," they write. These two women are inspiring power houses who have a lot to say about women's rights and sports at the international level. I hope you enjoy!</p> <p><br></p> <p>Music: Feather, by Nujabes</p> <p>Edits: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/corey-miller-67295bb1">Corey Miller</a></p>

Understanding the Open Stadiums Movement with Iranian Activist Sara
<p>In this episode, I share a conversation I had with someone I was bunking with in France in 2019: Sara, an Iranian activist who had been advocating tirelessly to allow women to watch soccer games in her home country. Thanks to her and many women who have sacrificed their safety and risked being punished/sent to jail, the government has loosened their ban on letting women into matches, however the fight still continues. I felt honored to have heard Sara's perspective on the matter and I hope this conversation sheds a bit of light on how the struggle for gender equality manifests differently in each culture and country. To continue to follow the progress on the Open Stadiums movement on Twitter.</p> <p>Music: Feather by Nujabes</p> <p>Edits: Corey Miller</p>
