This week on The Lockeroom, we sit down with Taylor Kornieck Flint—midfielder for Racing Louisville and the tallest player in U.S. women’s soccer history. Taylor made history at the University of Colorado as the program’s all-time leader in points and first-ever All-American, earning a spot on the U.S. Women’s National Team and building a name for herself as one of the most dominant aerial threats in the NWSL.

But Taylor’s journey hasn’t always been smooth. In this episode, she opens up about battling imposter syndrome, feeling the weight of expectations, and how she rediscovered her love for the game through mindfulness and mental health practices. From the pressure to perform to embracing her height as a strength—not a burden—Taylor shares how shifting her mindset helped her find clarity, confidence, and joy again.

We talk meditation, growth over outcomes, and the role relationships play in resilience—on and off the field.
