What does it really take to be elite? Midge Purce is a champion on the field, but she’s also a Harvard graduate with a degree in psychology. In Confessions of an Elite Athlete, Midge sits down with the best athletes in the world to explore their mindset and unseen battles on the path to greatness.

Purce stressed how important it is to her to explore non-soccer opportunities and different parts of her identity, instead of only being an athlete.

“I think that it’s really difficult to be a professional athlete in the sense where it can become just your entire identity value,” said Purce. “I think being able to explore things that allow me to be me is helpful—for me to focus on being me on the field, and then also be myself off of it.”

She also produced The Offseason, a television show she created that followed NWSL athletes living and training together over the offseason. The Offseason’s first season was filmed before the 2024 season and was released in fall 2024.
