USWNT star Mallory Pugh Swanson desperate to level up her goal celebrations: "I have been told (they) are awful"

American soccer player Mallory Pugh of the Chicago Red Stars is married to Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson.

Swanson has the record for the most assists in USWNT history before the age of 20. He's the youngest player in USWNT history to achieve 10 career assists. He became the youngest to be picked and compete in an Olympic qualification tournament in January 2016, at the age of 17.

Pugh recently participated in a quick rapid fire Q&A session with Midwest Express Clinic, where she revealed a lot of stuff. When asked about her favorite goal celebration, she said that she needs a lot of practice and is not very good at it.

"I have actually been told that my goal celebrations are awful, and I need to work on them."
