About this Episode

Fr. Chase Hilgenbrinck was a professional soccer player, reaching the top of his field playing a game he loved. And then, he wondered what it was all about, and what was it for? He left the pitch, turned in his boots, went to the seminary, and is now a priest. Fr. Chase talks with Katie ahead of the US in their first knockout round game in the 2026 World Cup and shares what advice he'd give to the players before their match.
