An Engaging Conversation with Jordyn Huitema and Megan Rapinoe
Megan Rapinoe: Hey, Jordyn! Long time no see. How have you been?
Jordyn Huitema: Hey, Megan! I’ve been great, thanks. Busy as ever with training and matches. How about you?
Megan Rapinoe: Same here. You know how it is in our world. Always something going on. How has life in the NWSL been treating you?
Jordyn Huitema: It’s been awesome so far! The level of competition and the energy here is just incredible. It’s such a different vibe from the European leagues.
Megan Rapinoe: Absolutely. Each league has its own flavor. Speaking of vibes, how’s everything going off the pitch? Any new hobbies or projects?
Jordyn Huitema: I’ve actually started getting into photography a bit. It’s a great way to unwind and see the world from a different perspective. Plus, it’s fun to share moments from my travels and games.
Megan Rapinoe: That’s so cool! I’ve seen some of your shots on Instagram. Love the action ones you took during training sessions. Got any tips for someone who’s as clueless about a camera as I am?
Jordyn Huitema: Haha, well, I’m no pro, but I’d say just start with the basics. Focus on the lighting and composition. And don’t be afraid to experiment. Sometimes the best photos come from the unexpected moments.
Megan Rapinoe: Solid advice. Maybe I’ll give it a shot…no pun intended. Moving on, how do you keep up with everything? Balancing matches, travel, and personal interests seems like a juggling act.
Jordyn Huitema: It’s definitely a challenge, but I try to find a balance by prioritizing my time and making sure I take breaks when I need them. Sometimes, it’s just about knowing when to switch off and relax.
Megan Rapinoe: Couldn’t agree more. Mental health is so crucial in our line of work. By the way, I heard you’re a bit of a gamer. What’s the latest game that’s got you hooked?
Jordyn Huitema: Oh, you heard right! I’ve been super into FIFA lately. Playing as myself is kind of surreal, but it’s a lot of fun. It’s also a great way to unwind and connect with friends.
Megan Rapinoe: That’s awesome. I guess I’ll have to challenge you to a match sometime then!
Jordyn Huitema: Anytime, Megan. But be warned, I don’t go easy on anyone, even if they’re legends like you!
Megan Rapinoe: Haha, bring it on! Seriously though, Jordyn, it’s been great catching up. Keep smashing it on and off the field. Can’t wait to see what you do next.
Jordyn Huitema: Thanks, Megan! Same to you. Let’s catch up again soon.
