One of the best to ever do it. I would catch myself holding my breath when she was on the ball, wondering what she’d conjure up next. And don’t even get me started on the joy of following the Preath rumor mill:

Over time, as more professional opportunities expanded for women’s soccer, the influence of players like Heath has only grown larger. Known for her “magician” style of play with elite technical ability, quick footwork and creative playmaking, Heath helped redefine what was possible on the field for those who grew up watching her on the United States women’s national soccer team and in the National Women’s Soccer League.
