Rose Lavelle said she is more comfortable taking on the responsibilities of leadership and is ready to step up as a senior member of the U.S. squad when she heads to her second Women's World Cup, even as questions remain around her fitness.
With captain Becky Sauerbrunn among those missing out due to injury, U.S. coach Vlatko Andonovski has selected a number of fresh faces for the World Cup, which begins on July 20 in Australia and New Zealand. "It's important that we find our voice, because we're not always going to have Becky and 'Pinoe' to lean on," she added, referring to Sauerbrunn and Megan Rapinoe.
Lavelle's career has been hampered by hamstring injuries and she said she has been working to improve her strength and conditioning with a new personal trainer Dak Notestine, who also trains Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow.
