Julie Foudy: Big Goals
Julie Foudy eats M&M’s. Sometimes, as it turns out, while talking about how to stay fit. But sweet tooth aside, the former soccer superstar remains a ferocious advocate for health and fitness, even as motherhood, media and other missions have replaced competition as the driving forces in her life.
“My life has changed quite a bit from having two massage therapists traveling with us all the time,” says Foudy, who led the U.S. women’s soccer team to two Olympic golds and a couple of FIFA World Championships during a 17-year career that last year landed her in the National Soccer Hall of Fame. “But while I no longer have half a day to spend on my body, fitness is still incredibly important to me.”
