In this edition of Talking Title IX we speak with former UNF women's soccer head coach, Linda Hamilton (07-13) on her career as a student-athlete, professional soccer player and collegiate head coach. Currently the head coach at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas, Hamilton was recently inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame. Having shared the pitch with other greats such as Mia Hamm, Michelle Akers and more, Hamilton helped pave the way for US Women's Soccer and the sports world as whole for women in the United States. Hamilton was a member of the first Women's World Cup in 1991 and was a four-time all-american in college among other achievements.
