Emma Hayes wants the USWNT to ‘suffer,’ but what she’s building is belief

New York Times  

Follow live coverage of Day 12 of the 2024 Paris Olympics, with 21 gold medals on offer LYON, France — Emma Hayes wanted her players to suffer. “I could see today that players were having to dig to the deepest place within them,” Hayes said Tuesday, following their second consecutive extra-time win in the semifinal against Germany. “Emma’s doing exactly that.” Goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher said it’s clear the team is buying into Hayes’s vision, but it goes beyond that, too. “That belief goes a long way.” Hayes has focused on the details on the field, but she’s gotten the smaller ones right in the USWNT environment, too: like how she booked a nail technician for the players here in France, knowing she got the timing right. She called the final group stage match against Australia “a banana skin game” before the team explained in America it’s called a trap game.
