What is Laurie's Passport Footy Podcast?

Welcome to my podcast! I am your host Laurie-Anne Renaud and I am a student-athlete at the University of Akron. I have played soccer/football my entire life in Canada, in the United States and in Europe, and I've always wanted to create a fun and educative podcast for international soccer players! We are so many and often struggle with the same problems and challenges! I would love to gather all of us, connect and share our experience to let people know our takes and our unique journeys in order to keep developing our beautiful game!
