Scurry was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1971. She started playing soccer at a young age, and she quickly showed a talent for the game. She was a natural goalkeeper, with quick reflexes and a strong presence in the net. But she also faced discrimination because she was a girl who played soccer.

Despite the challenges, Scurry never gave up on her dream of playing professional soccer. She attended the University of Massachusetts, where she played on the women's soccer team. She was a standout player in college, and she helped lead her team to two NCAA championships.

After graduating from college, Scurry signed with the Atlanta Beat of the Women's United Soccer Association. She quickly became one of the best goalkeepers in the league, and she helped the Beat win two championships.

In 1999, Scurry was named to the United States women's national soccer team. She was the starting goalkeeper for the team that won the World Cup in 1999 and the Olympic gold medal in 2004.

Scurry's success on the field is a testament to her hard work, dedication, and talent. But she is also an inspiration off the field. She is a role model for young girls who dream of playing soccer, and she is an advocate for women's sports.

In the Goal with Briana Scurry is a story of courage, determination, and triumph. It is a story that will inspire readers of all ages.
