United States women's national team goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher said she was "nervous" to tell manager Emma Hayes about her intention to retire from international soccer, but that it was a "great conversation" and that Hayes was "very supportive." Naeher announced her decision to retire from the USWNT on Monday, making upcoming friendlies against England at Wembley Stadium on Nov. 3, and against the Netherlands in The Hague three days later, her last opportunities to play internationally. She will continue to play at club level for the Chicago Red Stars . Naeher said she wanted Hayes' blessing before going public with her decision. "Yeah, I was nervous. I think as much as I am at peace with the decision -- I know that in my head it's the right time and I feel good about it and I feel at peace with it -- it's still the end of something," she said.

I'm going to miss being a part of these camps in this team. And I think to have that conversation made it very real. "It was important for me to have understood where she was at and to just have that conversation before anything got fully decided on," she said. "And she was great. She was very supportive. She was very thankful for different contributions to the team over the years and this past year, but it was a good conversation." Naeher said she arrived at her decision having noted that the USWNT goes in cycles, and at the end of the current World Cup cycle, she'll be 39 years old. She also spoke of the physical and mental toll operating at the peak of the sport takes on a player. With World Cup winner's medals and an Olympic gold medal in her trophy cabinet, she had achieved everything she wanted. "I feel very fulfilled with what we've been able to do and it takes a lot out of you," she said. "Honestly, I think I've been somebody that has been...I've given everything I've had to this team and I don't do anything halfway. It's kind of, if you can give 100% to it, then keep going. And with that in mind, I kind of just felt like this was the right time coming off of the Olympics, having a year that we had entering into a new cycle, a new stage for this team, it just felt like [I had] kind of given everything I have to give to this team and it just felt like the right time." It was back in 2017 that Naeher took over from another USWNT goalkeeping legend in Hope Solo. But rather than try to replace the often outspoken Solo, Naeher was determined to excel in her own, understated way. "I just tried to be myself. Obviously, a tremendous amount of respect for Hope and the career that she had and what she did for the sport and obviously [Briana] Scurry before her," she said. "And with that, I was never into comparing. "I always just tried to be myself and try to focus on how I could help the team in any moment, both on and off the field. So my focus was more on how I can continue to improve and be the best goalkeeper and best teammate that I could be every single day and keep learning." Now it will be up to the next wave of keepers to replace Naeher. On the current roster, that includes Mandy Haught of the Utah Royals and Manchester United 's Phallon Tullis-Joyce . There's also the North Carolina Courage 's Casey Murphy , the Houston Dash 's Jane Campbell and the Washington Spirit 's Aubrey Kingsbury with whom to contend. "I'm excited about the crop of goalkeepers that we have coming up," Naeher said. "I think what I've tried to at least show and instill in the future generations is just the power of preparation, the mindset going into training, the preparedness of what it looks like to be able to play at this level. "And I think having that, we've always been able to have in this environment, as competitive as it is, it's always also been very supportive. "And I think being able to find that balance within as training partners and as teammates. "Obviously everybody wants to be on the field, only one can be at a time, but having that balance of pushing each other each and every single day in training and then also supporting whoever's on the field at any given time because it's going to come back around to you and you'll get that same support when you are on the field and that just goes a long way."MONACO - Canadians Alex Tessier, Sophie de Goede and Laetitia Royer have been named to World Rugby’s Women’s 15s Dream Team of the Year.

MOREHEAD, Ky. (AP) — Steven Clay scored 15 points as Morehead State beat Alice Lloyd 94-63 on Saturday. Clay shot 6 for 12, including 3 for 8 from beyond the arc for the Eagles (7-6). Kenny White Jr. scored 14 points, finishing 7 of 9 from the floor. Jerone Morton, Tayler Brelsford and George Marshall all scored 13 points. Jared Strickland finished with 12 points and eight rebounds for the Eagles. Landon Napier added 10 points for Alice Lloyd. The Associated Press created this story using technology provided by and data from .President-elect Donald Trump is stacking the Department of Health and Human Services with people who are poised to favor the health fantasies of the rich. It started with the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. —an environmental lawyer with a history of promoting anti-vaccination conspiracy theories —to head the department. Then, Trump tapped Janette Nesheiwat, a Fox News contributor who peddles vitamins , for surgeon general; Marty Makary, who opposed vaccine mandates and supported natural immunity during the COVID-19 pandemic, for Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) commissioner; and Dave Weldon, who has championed the idea that vaccine preservatives contribute to the rise of autism (they do not), for director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. These picks do not inspire confidence. Under Kennedy's leadership, we will see a push for more individual empowerment—the kind only afforded to those with economic means. Trump said he would let Kennedy "go wild on health." This is alarming because Kennedy's beliefs on health are... wild . Kennedy has expressed interest in revisiting vaccine recommendations , removing fluoride from water, rolling back research on infectious diseases , and overhauling the FDA . Between his support for vaccine choice and relaxing access to substances with questionable benefits, it is clear that he leans in favor of increasing individual health decisions. After some of these measures have been undone, individuals will have to be more vigilant and assume greater risks when navigating their health care. While this sort of individualism in the realm of public health is most harmful to low- and middle-class people, those least able to exercise choice, it is ultimately bad for everyone. Kennedy's vision for "Making America Healthy Again" hopes to increase individual choice, which effectively translates to individual responsibility. However, one's ability to take responsibility is constrained by economic resources. Socioeconomic status is inversely correlated with morbidity and mortality. Unsurprisingly, money and education are protective. Those with more money and education have more opportunities to reduce risk of disease and maintain good health. Kennedy's plans to ramp up food regulation (motivated in part by ideology and pseudoscience ), for instance, will likely increase the cost of groceries and make it harder for Americans to buy food. Even among those with the means, health individualism is burdensome and does not guarantee better health. I am a medical sociologist who spent three years studying people who have long aligned with Kennedy , sharing many of his beliefs—they are parents of autistic children and allies who are convinced that vaccines and other environmental "triggers" contribute to autism. The debunked vaccine-autism link appeals to them because it suggests that autistic children can "recover" with the right combination of food, supplements, and experimental therapies. Here, parents find hope in the darkness of vaccine fear and confidence in their consumer power. Although the parents I studied are better resourced than most other Americans, they take on enormous risks and debt when they experiment with products that are not FDA approved. Parents spend countless hours doing their own "research" on efficacy and thousands of dollars on substances and devices that are not evidence-based (one mother sold her house and accrued $125,000 in credit card debt). Parents' desire for less government regulation and oversight ironically stems from a lack of universal health care and adequate social safety nets to protect the most vulnerable Americans. It is in this context that they make risky health decisions in hopes that their disabled children could become more "typical" and better able to survive a neoliberal world. What we need as a country are population-level efforts to improve everyone's well-being. When it comes to improving public health, we cannot keep privileging personal preference. Individual health is inseparable from population health. As we all had to learn during the COVID-19 pandemic, no individual, no matter how rich, can fully insulate themselves from the world around them. The U.S. failed to control the virus because we prioritized individualism at a time when our survival depended on collective action. Some resisted mandates to shelter in place and mask in public, placing their preferences over the safety of others. Then, when vaccines finally became available, skepticism and misinformation slowed efforts toward reducing transmission. Rich or poor, everyone was affected by the U.S.'s devastatingly inadequate response to COVID . Now, with mounting concerns about the transmission of avian flu , we might be tested again. As sociologist Andrew Szasz argued, insulating ourselves does not actually work and the delusion that it could will lead to complacency. Kennedy's promotion of consumer choice may sound appealing—especially to those who believe they have choice—but it will ultimately endanger everyone. From what we already know about his beliefs and stated plans, Kennedy is not suited to lead the health department. Catherine Tan is an Assistant Professor in Sociology at Vassar College.
