We don't fake it. We face it. Puss, puss. You know, let's start out with a bang. Yeah, let's do it. Yeah. Tell us, Sid. Yeah.
Why did Sydney take a mental break from soccer?
If anyone watching this show doesn't know that I took mental leave from soccer, that's what I did. I think this is, you know, why we kind of started the show is just to be like very honest and real and open about everything. Relationships, life, friendships, teammates, teams, all the things that Um, and yeah, I was, I was really struggling and I just had a lot of things kind of on my plate all at once. And, um, it was really hard and I definitely didn't take the time that I needed, um, in the moment. That's just not who I am. Um, but then, you know, my best friend and, and my friends who are also my teammates, um, came to me and you basically said you need help and we're worried about you. And my family was as well. And I think that that was really important for me to be able to like not only see what I was putting myself through, but to see what I was putting everyone else through. I think that was really hard.
And of course, like, I appreciate you so much for guiding me through this and still continuing to do that. And I'm just so thankful. You know, I think that there's always going to be room to improve with some of the things that I'm going through. But I have taken major steps into getting better and getting healthier. And I'm just excited to be back on the field and honestly, back with my bestie over here.
I'm so proud of you. And when you're going through something, I feel it with you because you are like a sister to me. And yeah, we had some some hard conversations. But I think when you love someone, it's important.
And
Again, it's why we wanted to have this show. And I'm really proud that you are sharing your story and what you're going through. And I feel really lucky. And I have wanted us both to be smiling on a soccer field for a very long time. So it means the world to me.
I think that we have gone through so many things together. It's actually crazy. Yeah. Um, but I'm really happy to be doing it with you and be doing this show with you. Like crazy, to be honest. I know. Well, wow. That was, um, yeah, it was a little much, um, a little awkward, but that's, you know, we said we're going to start out with a bang. So here we are. Yeah. Um, should we talk about how we got here? Should we? I think we should. Okay. You started off. You started off.
Okay. Well, we had a really good thing going with our Instagram content. I think it started off with an Usher music video where you were performing in the rain. There were worms coming up out of the grass.
Lots of worms.
Did not deter you. You were grinding up on that mat out there. And it was kind of a big hit.
It was. It was then we realized, hey, we're kind of funny. Well...
According to Rocky, you were funny.
Oh, yeah, yeah. I remember this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we did the Usher music video. We did a Valentine's Day expectation versus reality.
