From US Women’s Soccer Team to Building Europe’s Biggest Indoor Padel Club: Steph McCaffrey

From the US Women’s Soccer Team to the founder of Europe’s largest indoor padel club, Stephanie McCaffrey was always going to have a great story to tell. In line with our usual focus when an athlete sits in the chair, it is going to involve a chat about performing at the highest level in sport, setting yourself up for the next stage of your career, and then delivering on that. Steph put herself in one of the toughest professional environments away from the pitch, taking to the world of big finance after she retired to try something completely different. While it didn’t take long for her to find her way back to sport via the Actonians Women’s Football Team and then the development of the incredible Racketeer, that experience of operating away from the industry positioned her perfectly for the return. This is one of the most impressive and unique conversations with an athlete we have had on the show; a truly unique take on the opportunities available beyond sport.
