Hope Solo
Member of the 2008 Olympic Gold Medal winning U.S. Women's Soccer team; Named the 2009 Women's Professional Soccer Goalkeeper of the Year
Solo's journey to international stardom began at the University of Washington, where she played collegiate soccer before turning professional. After a brief stint with the Philadelphia Charge in the Women's United Soccer Association (WUSA), she moved to Europe to play in top leagues in Sweden and France. Upon returning to the U.S., she played for several teams in the Women's Professional Soccer (WPS) league, including Saint Louis Athletica and magicJack. When the WPS folded, Solo continued her career with the Seattle Sounders and later Seattle Reign FC in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL), where she remained a dominant force in goal.
One of the most memorable moments of Solo's career came during the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup, where she earned the Golden Glove award for best goalkeeper and the Bronze Ball for her overall performance. Despite the U.S. team's loss to Japan in the final, Solo's heroics in the quarterfinal against Brazil, where she helped the team win on penalty kicks, solidified her reputation as one of the best in the world. Her resilience and ability to perform under pressure were key factors in the U.S. team's success during her tenure.
Off the field, Solo has been a prominent figure in the media, participating in shows like Dancing with the Stars and posing for ESPN The Magazine's "Body Issue." She also authored a bestselling autobiography, "Solo: A Memoir of Hope," which detailed her life and career. As of 2016, Solo holds numerous U.S. goalkeeper records, including most career shutouts (102) and most wins (153). Her legacy as a trailblazer in women's soccer continues to inspire future generations of athletes.
