Hello Everyone!
My name is JulieAnne Dietz, and I want to thank you so much for visiting the She Dreams in Goals podcast. This project has been in planning for months, and I am so excited to finally have it up-and-running!
In this first episode, I asked my soccer-loving husband to interview me so that I could tell you about my extensive background in soccer, my qualifications as a childhood development expert and, most importantly, about my vision for She Dreams in Goals!
TLDR: I’ve dedicated my life to the game of soccer, and also helping children grow into amazing adults! I’ve created this podcast to help inspire fierce young soccer-player girls to keep following their dreams, and to help guardians all across the country guide them towards a lifetime of wellness. Learn more.
I know this episode may not sound as riveting as some of the other conversations I’ve recorded with stars from the National Women’s Soccer League, and the many health and wellness and performance experts I have lined up for you, but I hope you will still give it a listen as I think it gives some great context behind my vision…and contains some really important information in-and-of itself!
Ultimately, I’ve created this podcast for any young athlete, but most specifically for young soccer playing girls and the adults who support their dreams because:
Soccer is amazing and I don’t feel like there is enough age-appropriate content for fierce soccer-playing girls, which is a shame because they are the future!
Females face a lot of unique challenges in life, we’re are actually in the midst of a national adolescent mental health crisis, but, with the right set of skills (ranging from resiliency to nutrition), young girls have a much better chance to grow into healthy women ready to tackle anything that gets thrown at them!
When it comes to raising young athletes, we are all rookies. So, I thought I would tap into my experience as a childhood development expert, as well as my vast network of soccer stars and wellness professionals to see if I could help make the parent/guardian/coaching journey a little less overwhelming for all of us!
I hope you like what you hear and find it useful and, if you do, I hope you will share this podcast with your friends, family and teammates.

Yours in soccer and health,
JulieAnne
