She started playing soccer on a recreational team at the age of 7 and has never looked back.
"Once I set a goal, I don't want to back down from that goal," Cordell said."I don't want to stop until I either can't go any further or I've made it.""And once I played, I was like, 'Dude, I'm never going to stop doing this. This is great,'" said Cordell."I think there's like this weird amount of freedom that I feel when I'm on the field," Cordell said.
"Hope Solo advised me to be just not only a great goalkeeper, but to be the best athlete," Cordell said."She said it takes a lot of sacrifice and a lot of commitment to make it to where I want to go."The tournament runs through Aug. 20 and is set to be the biggest women's soccer tournament yet, according to the Olympics.If the United States wins again this year, it will become the first team in the competition's history to win the tournament three times in a row.
Goalkeeping is the toughest position on the 11-player team, and arguably one of the most dangerous positions because of how often players hit the ground and goal posts. Besides her teammates and mentors, Cordell says her faith has been a key driving force in her success.She said she finds comfort in prayer and reading the Bible.
