The Next XI

About the Site

The next XI is what comes after the starting XI. This site aims to provide analyses on players and teams while also discussing the evolution of sports as a component of social systems.

Women's Soccer

As this website grows and changes, women's soccer will remain at the heart of my writing. Here, you can find all of my writings on women's soccer from age 14 until now.

As her interests have expanded, she is excited to continue sharing her sports analysis and reflections on sports and society.
