Danielle Slaton has embarked on quite the broadcasting career in soccer. A regular on her hometown San Jose Earthquakes broadcasts, the former U.S. Women’s National Team star has considerable experience around men’s and women’s soccer as a commentator, and she’s also called a number of World Cups and Olympics tournaments.

Slaton is scheduled to call soccer games during the upcoming Tokyo Olympics this summer, and she admitted in a recent interview with Center Line Soccer that she gets a special thrill from calling the big tournaments.

“I mean I’m just blessed, and I’m over the moon about getting to call the Olympics this summer,” Slaton said.
