About Meg

I'm a national staff writer at The Athletic covering the NWSL, U.S. women's national team and more from the world of women's soccer. I covered the 2019 Women's World Cup from France, and travel to cover the USWNT and NWSL, and will cover the 2021 Tokyo Olympics and 2023 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. I also host a digital show, The Fixture by WICC, and am the author of a forthcoming book on Megan Rapinoe and her leadership to be released on June 1, 2021 and now available for preorder.
