My Take
I find Leah Blayney's story more interesting on the coaching side than the playing side. She came up through the Australian youth ranks, played at two FIFA youth World Championships and even crossed the Pacific to suit up for the Boston Breakers in the WPS. But what really catches my attention is that she came back to lead Australia's under-20 women's team from 2019 to 2024. Translating your own competitive experience into developing the next generation is its own skill, and a five-year stint says federations trusted her judgment. I read her as a builder, not just a former player.
