With three big names joining OL Reign in the next month — Kim Little, Tobin Heath, and Jordyn Huitema — competition for playing time is bound to get a little tighter. Little is a former NWSL MVP and standout at Arsenal, Heath is a two-time World Cup winner and Olympic Gold medalist, and Huitema recently won Olympic Gold with Canada.
While fans may be understandably nervous about what impact this could have on the locker room, with some players potentially losing minutes, OL Reign is fortunate to have a head coach in Laura Harvey who has created an environment that is focused on individual development and a team-first mentality.
