Back to EpisodesAWP: From Mission Bay to Monterrey: Christina Birkenroad’s Mindset Playbook
Description
"Aaron sits down with pro soccer forward and author Christina Birkenroad to unpack the real journey behind the goals—from Mission Bay High School and Cal State Fullerton to the NWSL, Europe, and eventually becoming a key player for Rayadas de Monterrey and the Mexican national team. Christina shares what actually separates good from great: habits, resilience, mental toughness, and learning to handle the highs and lows of a public, cutthroat career. They dive into her book The Footballer’s Handbook and why it’s more than a soccer guide—it’s a blueprint for anyone chasing excellence, navigating burnout, and building a “champion mindset” in life and work
