It’s been a privilege to be a small part of @caseykrueger journey. Returning to professional soccer is remarkable in its own right. Returning as a two-time mom makes it even more impressive.

Over the last several weeks, she’s shown up every day with unmatched professionalism, consistency, and a willingness to be challenged. Every decision we made was centered around preparing her for the demands of the game because the goal wasn’t simply to return to play, it was to 𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒏 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒚.

Her physical qualities speak for themselves. Her technical ability, athleticism, and competitiveness are obvious. But one thing I’ve always appreciated about Casey is how dependable she is as a defender. She’s a player who’s always there when her team needs her, and getting to work with her these last several weeks has only reinforced that.

I’m incredibly excited to watch this next chapter unfold, not just as a professional soccer player, but now as 𝒂 𝒕𝒘𝒐-𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒎 𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒔𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒔. Wishing you a healthy, successful, and strong year.

P.S. wait till the end- safe to say she can still hit her target. 🎯

Show a soccer girl what it’s like to be a @WashingtonSpirit player. The newly-launched Spirit Starting XI Experience takes you behind-the-scenes of a match day. Start with watching the team do a fit check and doing your own fit check documented by the team’s photographer. Then, walk through the player tunnel onto the field to watch players like @Trinity_Rodman warmup. After the game, head back to the sidelines to meet players, collect autographs, and snap photos. It’s a soccer girl’s dream!

One of my favorite parts of working with athletes in this setting is that no two rehabilitation plans look exactly the same.

Postpartum return to performance isn’t about following a timeline or checking boxes. It’s about understanding the athlete in front of you, the demands of her sport, and identifying both the barriers and the enablers to getting back to the game.

That means collaboration.

It means listening.

It means being objective.

And it means making decisions based on what the athlete demonstrates, tolerates, and has earned the right to do—not on assumptions about what a postpartum athlete should or shouldn’t be doing.

For us, that has meant addressing every bucket of need: movement quality, lumbopelvic function, strength, speed, rate of force development, agility, conditioning, soccer-specific skills, and perceptual-cognitive performance. Returning to professional soccer requires much more than tissue healing.

And maybe my favorite part of this process? Watching this athlete show up every session with an incredible work ethic, a willingness to be challenged, and the confidence to always say, “I can do more.” To say @caseykrueger is inspiring would be an understatement.

She’s a reminder that postpartum athletes aren’t fragile, they’re high-performing athletes. Our job is to understand the demands they’re returning to, assess their current capacity, address the barriers we can, build on the strengths they already have, and create a plan that’s as individualized as they are.
