Brandi Mitchell is the Founder of San Diego Soccer Women in California. Her goal is to connect and expand the global community of age 30 and older recreational female soccer players of every ability level. At age 47 has traveled the world joining in both standard and walking soccer tournaments for ages 40 and older, as well as organizing international “Soccer Women” trips.

I love that her number one goal is to increase opportunities for older women, mainly ages 30 to over 70, to join, continue or return to recreational soccer. Brandi just wants women to kick down the imagined boundaries of age and gender and I’m behind her all the way!

Brandi and I have a chat that could have gone on for days! Luckily, I was able to edit it an episode though. You’re welcome. In this episode, we’re talking about how physical, mental, economic and emotional health of women as we age relies on positive relationships with our own bodies. And that means pushing back against generations of social messaging that tells us we are never shaped, dressed or acting the way we ‘should’ in the eyes of others.

She also points out that Women are not “girls” – it’s time to be accountable for how referring to adult females as children (by both men and women) prolongs sexist and ageist behavior in society. So, sit back and get comfortable, we have a lot to cover. And by the end of it, I bet you feel inspired to go find a sport!

I’m excited to be meeting Brandi and other inspiring female athletes like herself at this year’s one of a kind sports festival, The Good Games July 6th and 7th in Guelph, Ontario.
