USWNT Icon Lauren Holiday and Husband Jrue Holiday Finally Become NWSL Investors After Previous Unsuccessful Deals

“Hey, I don’t know if this is all I want to do,” Lauren Holiday told her husband Jrue, questioning the biggest decision she was about to make. For someone who was a warrior on the pitch—with accolades like a World Cup and two Olympic gold medals—let alone having battled a life-threatening brain tumor discovered during her first pregnancy, it’s a fear many may find unique. However, when ‘substantial‘ money is at stake in becoming an NWSL investor, followed by a string of unsuccessful deals, it’s only natural to have second thoughts.

But boy, did the former Kansas City star and her iconic NBA champion husband take a leap of faith. The duo have now become investors in the North Carolina Courage. Announced on Wednesday, the involvement of the Holiday Family Trust will see Lauren step into roles as an advisor and ambassador for the club, with additional responsibilities on the technical side as well.

“I want to be an impact everywhere that I go,” said the inaugural 2013 NWSL MVP, who also has the league’s community service award named in her honor, while speaking to ESPN. “So, yes, I’m an investor in North Carolina but I think I have invaluable insight being as I was part of the league when it was in its inaugural season.”
