After just four years as a professional, Imani Dorsey was ready to retire. The game had always been enjoyable for her, who became a star at Duke University before being selected at No 5 overall in the NWSL Draft by Gotham FC. Now, it just wasn’t anymore.
“I got to a point where I wasn’t performing my job safely anymore,” she says today. “I was like: ‘I can’t do this anymore. I will just retire. This is not fun. This is not enjoyable. It continuously became harder and harder to dig deeper and dig back into the tank.”
