Gracie & JT Marcinkowski on Pro Soccer, Suffering a Injuries, & the Pressures of Goalkeeping

What does it really take to handle the pressure of being the last line of defense? This week, I sit down with LA Galaxy goalkeeper JT Marcinkowski for an honest conversation about the highs and lows of life in professional soccer. We talk about the pressure that comes with competing at the highest level, stepping into the legacy of the LA Galaxy, and carrying the weight of a position where one mistake can change an entire game. JT opens up about battling injuries and surgeries, losing confidence in his body, and the mental process of trusting himself enough to compete again. We also dive into how he rebuilt that confidence, found his footing in a new chapter of his career, and what it feels like to be playing some of his best soccer as the Galaxy build momentum with the playoffs around the corner.  CONTACT ME FOR BUSINESS INQUIRIES 💌: [graciekramerteam@unitedtalent.com](mailto:graciekramerteam@unitedtalent.com) WATCH MORE OF AAH: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAqmszrKB9tGT2cLtCruLHGYJGHxFdA1M LISTEN ON SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/1tMu2BlIgGVUYLLkES4VDo?si=23a99e4d67934ea9 LISTEN ON APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/athletes-after-hours-with-gracie-kramer/id1882423066 FOLLOW ME ON SOCIALS — INSTAGRAM: @gracie.kramer (https://www.instagram.com/gracie.kramer?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D&utm\_source=qr) TIKTOK: @graciekramer8 (https://www.tiktok.com/@graciekramer8?\r=1&\t=ZT-94nOAG8Efr3) YOUTUBE: https://youtube.com/@graciekramer14?si=F28A5yWoqUu0DRPv FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100011384569631
