Briana Scurry is a pioneering American soccer goalkeeper and one of the most accomplished players in women’s soccer history. Scurry was a key figure in the U.S. Women’s National Team, winning two Olympic gold medals (1996, 2004) and the 1999 FIFA Women’s World Cup. After suffering a career-ending concussion in 2010, Scurry faced a challenging mental health journey, battling depression and anxiety.
Her resilience and advocacy for concussion awareness and mental health have inspired many. Through her impact on the landscape of women’s soccer and American sports culture, Briana was selected to the United States Women’s National Team’s All-Time Best XI and was selected as the permanent Title IX Exhibit in the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture.
