Kelyn Rowe - Sports & Entertainment Insurance Producer at USI | Former Professional Soccer Player

In this episode of The One Soccer Nation Podcast, host Kareem Rae speaks with former MLS professional Kelyn Rowe about the realities of playing at the highest level and the difficult transition that follows.

Kelyn shares the sacrifices, pressure, and mental demands of a professional career, along with the identity shift many players face after retirement. Now a Seattle Sounders FC broadcaster and a commercial lines producer at USI Insurance, he explains how his experience on the field informs his work helping soccer organizations manage risk and build long term sustainability.

Key takeaways include identity after soccer, career longevity, mental health, the unseen sacrifices of pro athletes, how clubs really make decisions, and why risk management matters across youth, amateur, and professional soccer.
