outlier
A personal project where we peel back the layers of soccer in the U.S., exploring new perspectives into the lives of those forging paths outside of traditional soccer pathways, fanbases, and cultures to shape the future of the sport.
Solai Washington
Our first installment is centered on Solai Washington. Solai, by many measures, is a typical American high schooler whose Jamaican heritage, acuity, and on-field prowess have led her to be one of the youngest players ever to compete in any World Cup (women's or men's). Solai is laidback and chill around the home and at school, but when she steps foot on the pitch, that mindset flips, and you catch a glimpse of what makes her one of the best young players in the sport.
