Kristen Edmonds on Making Mistakes

Kirsten Edmonds recalls, "“I was lucky that I was taught by the coaches that I played for growing up and by my mentors that it’s not the mistake – it’s the reaction after the mistake that makes the difference,” says Edmonds, a star midfielder for the Orlando Pride of the National Women’s Soccer League.

Edmonds received the Golden Boot award for scoring the most goals on her team.  She is listed on the U.S. Women’s National Team training camp roster last year and Kirsten is a strong player in a very talented pool of players.

"And her message to young players – and those who coach them – is that everyone makes mistakes, including her and all the best players on the planet."
