 Presented by adidas Produced by Storied Sports Executive Producer: Michelle Akers Episode 2 digs into the chaos & confusion that led to the formation of the first U.S. Women’s National Team - unbeknownst to the players themselves. The women recount finding out they’d made the national roster in ways that ranged from the bizarre to the anticlimactic — including learning the news from a reporter before U.S. Soccer even contacted them. Behind the scenes, a group of determined women were pushing the sport forward. This episode spotlights Marty Mankamayer, along with Mavis Derflinger and Betty D’Anjolell — the unstoppable “Charlie’s Angels” of youth soccer whose organization, business savvy, and political grit forced open doors the federation wasn’t ready to unlock. Their biggest breakthrough: getting women’s soccer into the 1985 Olympic Sports Festival, a move that created the pipeline needed to scout and select the first national team. It’s a story of visionary leadership, bureaucratic battles, and the moment the potential of players like Michelle Akers, Sharon McMurtry, and Stacey Enos became impossible to ignore. 00:00 — Pam learns she made the team (…from a reporter) 01:52 — “There’s a USWNT?!” 02:26 — Chapter two: A Golden Opportunity 03:20 — The barriers for the USSF 04:36 — The addition: women’s soccer now in the Olympic Sports Festival 06:54 — Meet the power trio: Marty, Mavis & Betty 08:10 — The explosion of girls & women’s soccer after Title IX 11:27 — Michelle Akers appears: “A once-in-a-generation talent” 18:18 — Players arrive in Baton Rouge: “It was like the Olympics” 27:55 — The plan unbeknownst to the players: the national team selection 34:02 — The announcement: the first USWNT is named on the field 40:00 — “So… do you have a passport?” Featuring (in order of appearance): Pam Baughman Cornell: Forward | Member of the 1985 USWNT | Virginia / D.C.
