Tobin Powell Heath (born May 29, 1988) is an American professional soccer player. She currently plays professionally for Portland Thorns FC of the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) and the United States women's national soccer team. She is a two-time Olympic gold medalist and also a FIFA Women's World Cup winner and finalist with the United States women's national soccer team. She is also a two-time NWSL Champion with the Portland Thorns. Heath is described as "perhaps the USA's most skillful player" by the United States Soccer Federation,[3] and she was voted the U.S. Soccer Athlete of the Year in 2016. Heath usually plays as a flank midfielder or an attacking midfielder. Heath was the first overall pick in Women's Professional Soccer 2010 draft.

Heath's career started with the New Jersey Wildcats in 2004–05, Hudson Valley Quickstrike Lady Blues in 2007 and Pali Blues in 2009. Her college career was with the North Carolina Tar Heels between 2006 and 2009 within the time she spent with the Hudson Valley Quickstrike Lady Blues. She then moved on to professional soccer in the Women's Professional Soccer league, spending one season in 2010 with Atlanta Beat. She also spent one season each with Sky Blue FC in 2011 and New York Fury in 2012, the latter was when the WPS folded. She moved to France with Paris Saint-Germain for the 2013–14 season before moving on to her current club when the NWSL was established.

Early life and education

Heath was born in Morristown, New Jersey just outside New York City to parents Jeff and Cindy Heath. She grew up in Basking Ridge, New Jersey. Heath has a younger brother, Jeffrey, and two older sisters, Perry and Katie, who are active in Athletes in Action and Champions for Christ. Heath started playing soccer at the age of 4 in the back of a YMCA.[4] She has described herself as a proud and devout follower of her Christian faith and is very close to her family.[5][6]

Heath graduated from Ridge High School in Basking Ridge in 2006, where she played soccer in the first three years.[7] She also played for the PDA Wildcats team that won the 2003 Club National Championship.[8] Heath was ranked as the No. 2 recruit in the nation in the Class of 2006 by Soccer Buzz magazine and was named to the Parade Magazine All-America team in 2005.[9][10]

North Carolina Tar Heels

Heath committed to attend the University of North Carolina (UNC) when she was due to begin her junior year at high school. She did not play soccer in her senior year, instead she decided to train with boys.[11] In her consensus freshman year in 2006 with the Tar Heels, she was part of the All-America 2006 national championship team and made 23 appearances at left midfield (22 of them were starts), scoring four goals and assisting nine.[11] As a sophomore, she scored two goals, assisting another five and was named to the First-Team NSCAA All-American and First-Team All-ACC (Atlantic Coast Conference).[11] As a junior, she scored eight goals with eight assists, this helped the UNC to a 25–1–2 record and the NCAA title.[11]

As a senior at UNC, she was involved in fifteen Tar Heels goals, five of them she scored and assisted 10. The team compiled a record of 23–3–1 and recorded 1–0 victories in both the NCAA semi-final and championship game. She was named to the NCAA All-Tournament Team and also the first runner-up for the MAC Hermann Trophy, given to the college soccer's top player.[11]

Heath helped lead UNC to NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Championship titles in 2006, 2008 and 2009[12] and four straight Atlantic Coast Conference titles. UNC soccer coach Anson Dorrance notes that Heath preferred to nutmeg opposing players rather than dribble the ball around them.[13]

Club career

Women's Professional Soccer, 2010–11

In 2010, she was the first overall pick in the Women's Professional Soccer (WPS) 2010 college draft and was selected by the expansion team Atlanta Beat. After suffering an injury to her right ankle in her third appearance for the Beat, she missed the remainder of the 2010 season.[14] She started in all three of her appearances for the club.[15]

On December 10, 2010, Heath, along with Beat teammates Eniola Aluko and Angie Kerr, was traded to Sky Blue FC in return for the fourth and eighth pick in the 2011 WPS Draft as well as future considerations.[16] Heath made twelve appearances for Sky Blue, starting in three games.[15] The team finished fifth during regular season play with 5 wins, 4 draws, and 9 losses.[17]

New York Fury, 2012

With the folding of WPS in 2012, Heath joined New York Fury of the WPSL Elite League.[18] At the start of the season, she was recovering from an ankle injury. Afterwards, she played one game with New York Fury and was later called to the national team.[19]

Paris Saint-Germain, 2013–2014

In 2013, Heath signed a six-month contract with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the top-tier French league, Division 1 Féminine until the end of the season on May 23, 2013.[20] She scored five goals in the twelve appearances she made for the club.[21] Her six month spell was referred as her education, from the Portland Thorns FC website.[22]

Heath returned to PSG from Portland Thorns FC in September 2013 until June 2014, after she had a sore right foot in the 2013 NWSL Championship.[23] During her second spell with the club, she made seven appearances without scoring.[24]

Portland Thorns FC, 2013–present

Heath with the Thorns in 2016

The newly established National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) announced on January 11, 2013 that Heath was one of the seven players allocated to the Portland Thorns FC for their initial roster as part of the NWSL Player Allocation.[25] After completing the season with Paris-Saint Germain, she joined the Thorns in July 2013, helping them attain a third-place finish in the NWSL. The Thorns won the 2013 NWSL Championship after defeating the Western New York Flash 2–0, with Heath scoring the game-winning goal from a direct free kick.[26][27] She was voted as the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the championship game.[28] With the Thorns, Heath was also named to the 2013 NWSL starting 11.[29]

During the beginning of the 2016 NWSL season, Heath notched five assists in five games – two of them in a 2–1 victory over the Orlando Pride, and earned the title of NWSL Player of the Month for April.[30] She also scored her first goal of the 2016 season against the Washington Spirit,[31] which was voted NWSL goal of the week by fans. She was also named NWSL Player of the Week for week 6.[32] Heath notched her 10th assist of the season in Portland's final game against Sky Blue FC, breaking the NWSL's previous record of 9 assists by a single player in one regular season.[33] She was named as the team's captain when Christine Sinclair was injured during the season.[34]

Heath missed the majority of the 2017 NWSL season, while nursing a lingering back injury which kept her out of play. It was first described as a minor injury that was expected to result in a short spell out of play, with an estimated return date listed as May 27 against the Boston Breakers.[35] The back injury lasted longer than thought so she was sent to Los Angeles and was treated by her coaching staff.[36] Heath was removed from the disabled list and added to the active roster on August 28.[37] It was announced in May that she would take up a role within the team's Development Academy as Youth Technical Director.[38] Heath returned in time for end of the season, her NWSL season debut was on September 23 vs Orlando Pride at the 60th minute.[39] She made her first start on October 7 against the same team in the NWSL Championship Semi-final. She helped her team reach the final of the play-offs with an assist for Emily Sonnett in a 4–1 win,[40] and participated in a 1–0 win over North Carolina Courage to win the NWSL Championship.[41]

Heath suffered an ankle injury after the NWSL Championship and underwent surgery at the beginning of 2018.[42] She began the 2018 NWSL season unable to play as she was still recovering from the surgery. She returned to the Thorns starting lineup and came on in the 57th minute in a 1–1 draw away to Utah Royals FC where she also scored ten minutes after coming on.[43]
