The NWSL is continuing expansion this upcoming season. Two cities that are getting expansion teams for 2026 are Boston and Denver. Denver's nickname will be the Summit.
The Summit will need many players to help jumpstart the fanbase into the city and state. One player the Summit can rally behind will be defender Carson Pickett. Pickett has had a storied career.
She was born without a left forearm and hand, making her a pioneer for adoptive athletes not just in the United States but around the world. More importantly, though, she has been a strong player for every team she played for.
