United Soccer Coaches Convention Mini-Series: Laura Youngson

Ida co-founder Laura Youngson joins the podcast to discuss the first women's specific soccer cleat! Laura Youngson is a STEM advocate, TED speaker, and four-time Guinness World Record Holder. She’s always been drawn to the power that sport has in bringing people together and in 2017, she set out to make a lasting mark in the game she loves. Laura led a group of women to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro to play a record-breaking football match with Equal Playing Field and highlight gender inequalities in sport. During the quest to play the highest altitude football match ever, Laura discovered they were all wearing boots made for men (or kids) and it left their feet in pain long after the final whistle blew.   Social Media: Twitter: @FreeKickPod Instagram: @FreeKickPod Facebook: @FreeKickPod YouTube: The Free Kick   Kyle and Jillian:  Twitter: @totwag Twitter: @Silly__Jilly Twitter: @CoachAlmoney Instagram: @theoneteamweagreeon The One Team We Agree On   Laura Youngson: Twitter: @idasportsco Instagram: @idasports Instagram: @laurayoungson https://www.idasports.com.au/
