Emma Hayes recognizes that coaching the United States women's national team will be different than coaching Chelsea FC, but she also understands what she signed up for.
Emma Hayes is not concerned about this transition. She built a perennial power in Chelsea over the past 12 years, and now takes over the most decorated women's soccer program in the world, the four-time World Cup winning United States women's national team. It's a new environment with new players, but on a fundamental level, there's not a major discrepancy in her approach to going from club to country.
' Hayes knows players have been operating in a state of uncertainty for the past six months while she's been pulling double duty coaching Chelsea and keeping an eye on the USWNT. So her first message to the team this week when everyone convened in Colorado was to ease that anxiety and give them an update and a timeline of what's to come ahead of a busy summer. She's also making it a point to have one-on-one meetings with each player this week to get to know them.
