It didn't take long for goalkeeper Casey Murphy to become a fan favorite in Boston. The USWNT and NWSL veteran signed with the Boston Legacy FC last year after 5 years with the North Carolina Courage last summer. She quickly embraced a leadership role, helping lay the foundation for a championship culture in Title Town. Murphy knows what it means to be successful. In her first start for the USWNT she recorded a clean sheet, becoming the seventh goalkeeper to accomplish the feat. She's also been on some of the world's biggest stages, including the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, and won an Olympic gold medal in 2024. Today we dive into:

• What convinced Casey to sign with Boston Legacy FC
• Why embracing a leadership role has felt like the next step in her career & what it's been like with a new team
• How she spent her first week off as a Bostonian
• Casey's addiction to chasing improvement, especially after her USWNT debut shutout
• How she shows up as a teammate, captain and leader on the field and sideline on both the national and club level
• Why she and her husband started one-day Casey Murphy Goalkeeping Academy clinics across the country
• 2024 Paris Summer Olympic experience & gold medal (and full circle feeling!)
