Ben Dragavon has been many things to many people.
He was a goalkeeper for the Seattle Sounders in their first MLS season. He’s been an assistant coach in the team’s academy system, the strength and goalkeeper coach for the Seattle Reign of the National Women’s Soccer League and a personal trainer to athletes ranging from weekend warriors to world champions.
However the women’s national team knows him simply as their savior after he and physical therapist Brent George nursed midfielder Megan Rapinoe back to health after a torn ACL in her right knee last December left both Rapinoe’s career and her Olympic dreams in doubt.
