My Take
What draws me to Brandi Chastain isn't just the trophy cabinet, staggering as it is. Plenty of athletes win; far fewer build something that outlasts them. Co-founding Bay FC, coaching, broadcasting, championing the women's game long after her own playing days ended, that's the work of someone who understands her real legacy is structural, not personal. The San Jose kid who went from Berkeley to two World Cups and two Olympic golds clearly never stopped seeing the bigger picture. I admire athletes who plant trees they'll never sit under, and she strikes me as exactly that kind of person.
