News about Heather O'Reilly

Emma Hayes and the US women's national team could be a 'perfect marriage,'  USWNT World Cup winner Heather O'Reilly said as the Americans look to hit the ground running on their new era. The ex-Chelsea coach Hayes only managed the USA for the first time last week, and it's a rapid transition to the Paris Olympics in late July. Nonetheless, O'Reilly - who collected three gold medals and the 2015 World Cup with the USA - is 'bullish' on the team's chances this summer.

Caitlin Clark's success in women's basketball means that 'everybody rises' in the WNBA, said US women's national team legend Heather O'Reilly - though the three-time gold medalist admitted that envy and jealousy are 'human emotions' for others to have. While Clark has brought significant attention to the WNBA and even influenced the league's decision to adopt charter flights, she was given a rude welcome to pro life last week when the Chicago Sky's Chennedy Carter aggressively bodychecked her. Regardless of how Clark's league-mates may feel about her, though, O'Reilly believes her presence in women's basketball - as well as fellow rookie Angel Reese - should be viewed as 'all positive.'
