Along with her incredible football intelligence, Cynthia Frelund contributed such excitement and heart to the GALvanize set on Radio Row last year. Alexa chatted with her about the importance of embracing who you are. Our biggest takeaway was that while you should absolutely draw inspiration and empowerment from your role models, you should never aspire to “be the next” anyone. Doing so would be a disservice to the magnificent and uniquely gifted person you are — and what you have to offer the sports world — but also, it would be an impossible task. Such powerful and thoughtful advice from a woman who carved a unique space for herself in the sports media landscape through channelling her own unique gifts, knowledge and interests into football. Thank you for speaking so beautifully and openly with us, Cynthia! 🎥 @timeoutwiththetwins
