[Intro Music]
>> EMILY: I’m Emily Sonnett and I’m a
defender for the U.S. Women’s National Team
and the Portland Thorns.
[Music]
>> EMILY: I think my main job as a defender
is first to defend, but then how can I put
my teammates in better positions to score.
I’m trying to constantly break lines and
find the furthest ball.
Balancing as a defender, when to go forward
or when to stay, what best fits the game at
the appropriate time.
[Outro Music]
