When sitting later to talk with the guardian, Hais has words about the warning about sports, namely, that he must learn from the death of her predecessor in Chelsea, Matt Berd, after Shane news about his death at the age of 47 years last month.
“This is a football community in mourning. This is a huge loss, ”says Hayes. “Mental health is a silent killer, and the coaches are people, and I still think that we have a lot of work to support more than just players. [League Managers Association] Do an excellent job, but since the female game is growing, we must think about how we support managers in the women's game at all levels in order to navigate in pressure and expectations.

[It is] Why Chelsea is still at the top. ”
Hayes also thinks about the future for the US national team, since it indicates the importance of its youth sides, discussing her love for her last work.

“I like to have a little more brain time between them, so I can strategically think about business, and not in the game every three days. I can plan an average and long period in the Federation to set a course not only for the women's team, but also with our youth national teams, for how USA continues to compete in the upper part. ”
