Bethany Balcer has had an unusual path to pro soccer. She didn't play for a college powerhouse.
But she did excel at an NAIA-level program in Michigan before getting a chance to train with the Reign of the National Women's Soccer League.
She won a contract and went on to become the league Rookie of the Year last season.
Balcer is now a starter and is out to prove her rookie year was not a fluke.
Balcer hopes her story is an inspiration to young women who might not have the traditional credentials but still love to play.
