What does it take to become the No. 1 ranked goalkeeper in America? It’s not just talent. It’s discipline, sacrifice, resilience, and the willingness to chase a dream long before anyone knows your name.

On this episode of The Vibe with Kelly Cardenas, Kelly sits down with Josie Biehl, one of the most exciting young goalkeepers in the country, a USC Women’s Soccer commit, and a United States Youth National Team player who is helping shape the future of women’s soccer.

A Carlsbad, California native, Josie’s journey has been built through years of commitment, competing with top clubs like City SC and San Diego Surf Soccer Club, while earning national recognition as the No. 1 goalkeeper and No. 14 overall player in the 2026 recruiting class according to Top Drawer Soccer.

Josie has represented the United States across multiple youth national team levels, including the U15, U16, U17, U18, and U19 teams, and was part of the squad that captured the U17 CONCACAF Championship.

But behind the rankings, championships, and recruiting headlines is a story about mindset, family, preparation, confidence, and what it really takes to compete at the highest level.

From growing up in Carlsbad to committing to USC, Josie’s journey is a reminder that greatness is built through the small decisions made every single day. The saves, the practices, the setbacks, and the moments when nobody is watching — those are the inchstones that create champions.

Whether you’re an athlete chasing a dream, a parent supporting a young competitor, a coach developing the next generation, or simply someone who loves stories of excellence, Josie’s story is one you don’t want to miss.
