In Conversation with Julie Ertz: A Chat with Megan Rapinoe

Megan Rapinoe: Hey Julie, great to catch up! How’s life treating you off the field?

Julie Ertz: Hey Pinoe! It’s been pretty hectic, but I’m loving every minute of it. You know how it is—soccer, family, a bit of everything. How about you?

Megan: Busy as ever, but you’re not getting away with just “hectic” as an answer. Come on, spill the details. How’s little Madden doing?

Julie: He’s amazing! It’s unreal how fast he’s growing. He’s starting to kick the ball around a bit. I mean, he’s no Alex Morgan yet, but give him time!

Megan: Ha! Starting young, I see. Guess you’re grooming him to be the next big soccer star. Speaking of stars, how’s the transition been with the new team?

Julie: You know, it’s like every new chapter—it comes with its challenges, but also so many exciting opportunities. The team’s been really welcoming, and getting the chance to bond on and off the field definitely helps. And those team dinners? Love them!

Megan: Oh, team dinners are the best. They always turn into mini parties somehow. So what’s the secret behind juggling soccer, family, and, well, life?

Julie: Honestly, good time management and a solid support system. Zach’s been incredible, and having family and friends to lean on makes all the difference. Plus, a lot of coffee. Lots and lots of coffee!

Megan: Amen to that! Coffee is life. Speaking of Zach, how’s it going being the power couple of the sports world?

Julie: (Laughs) Oh, you’re too kind. It’s fun, though. We get to share in each other’s achievements and push each other to be better. Plus, he’s the biggest cheerleader I could ask for—aside from you, of course!

Megan: Well, can’t beat the Raptinoe cheer squad, right? So, any big plans for the future that you’re excited about?

Julie: Just continuing to grow, both personally and professionally. I’m excited about community outreach and working with more youth programs. And, of course, winning more championships wouldn’t hurt!

Megan: Sounds like a plan. Well, Julie, thanks for catching up. Always a pleasure to hear what you’re up to. Keep rocking it out there!

Julie: Thanks, Pinoe! You too. Let’s catch up again soon—maybe in person next time, over some coffee!

Megan: Absolutely, coffee date it is. Later, champ!

Julie: Later!
