About this listen

From Long Island to Manchester United, Phallon Tullis-Joyce has fought her way to one of the biggest stages in women’s football. Now the starting goalkeeper for United, last season’s Golden Glove winner in the WSL, and a newly capped USWNT player, Phallon reflects on the climb that brought her here.

In this conversation, she opens up about the setbacks and mental challenges along the way — from battling "gummy legs" and imposter syndrome to learning how to stay grounded under pressure. We also talk about her gameday routines, the transition from U.S. soccer to Europe, and how her love for marine biology continues to influence her journey on and off the pitch.

Phallon’s story is one of persistence, growth, and finding strength in both passion and performance.
