Sydney Leroux’s key to success: Prancercising

US women’s national team forward Sydney Leroux is making a name for herself both on and off the field.

In this weekend’s friendly against Canada, Leroux scored the final goal in a 3-0 victory. Unfortunately, she was also subject to racist and sexist tweets leading up to the match.

For those paying attention, the 23-year-old recently revealed her pregame secret that leads to success: Prancercising. Described as an “exercise revolution,” this hilarious exercise was made famous by a viral video which is a must-watch.

Abby Wambach’s interview outtakes

USA legend Abby Wambach recently disclosed to FOX Soccer that she wants to leave the women’s game in better shape than she found it when she decides to retire.

On the lack of playing time and repetitions between national team games because of the lack of a domestic professional league:

“It’s obviously difficult to get on the same page because we’re not together very often before these games. [Routine] is definitely not what we’re experiencing right now. And that’s a struggle; that’s a challenge. After the Olympics, you have to de-condition and that’s a huge part of coming back the next year without injuries. So this is a really hard time because you try to find the time to rest so that you’re fresh when the next season starts. But you also want to be fit enough so that you can accomplish the things that you set forth in this victory tour, which is winning games.”
