This week on The RE–CAP Show, Tobin and Christen start with a bigger question: what responsibility do athletes have to use their platform — especially when wearing the crest? From there, they sit down with U.S. Women’s National Team forward Ally Sentnor, fresh off camp, to talk about what it really takes to make it at the highest level. From flipping Candyland boards as a kid to leading at the U-20 World Cup, she opens up about extraordinary drive, earning trust as a goal scorer, navigating the “free-flowing bridge” between youth and senior teams, and what it means to wear the U.S. crest in complicated times. We talk killer instinct, leadership mistakes, platform responsibility, and why being “ordinary” might just be her superpower. New episodes every week. Watch the video version of the show on YouTube.
