Early life

[edit]

Born to Larry and Josephine Parlow, Cindy was raised in Memphis, Tennessee, where she attended Germantown High School. At age 13, she attended a local autograph signing by U.S. national team head coach Anson Dorrance after the U.S. won the inaugural 1991 FIFA Women's World Cup in China. After the signing, she told her mother, "I'm going to play for that man some day." Four years later, she decided to graduate high school early and attend the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where she played for the Tar Heels women's soccer team led by Dorrance.[7][8] She later noted, "I wasn’t really your typical teenager; I was very intense and very focused. I definitely wasn’t an adult when I was 17, but I felt like coming to UNC was a great decision for me in all aspects because I felt like I was fully supported and pushed to become not only a better soccer player but a better person."[9]

At Chapel Hill, Parlow was a four-time All-American and helped the team win the NCAA Women's Soccer Championship three times and the Atlantic Coast Conference regular season four times.[10][11] She was a two-time Hermann Trophy winner in 1997 and 1998 (the second two-time winner following Mia Hamm). She was named the ACC Athlete of the Year in 1999.

Following her freshman season, Parlow was named the Atlantic Coast Conference Rookie of the Year. Her 19 goals and 13 assists (51 points) led Soccer News and Soccer America to name her National Freshman Player of the Year as well.[10] Parlow's freshman year ended when she scored an own goal in 20th minute of the 1995 NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Tournament semifinals.[12] Notre Dame defeated North Carolina 1-0 on Parlow's own goal to snap the Tar Heels' 35-game winning streak and denying North Carolina a 10th consecutive NCAA title. The following year, she was a finalist for the MAC Hermann Trophy after scoring 15 goals and providing 11 assists. She scored the game-winning goal in the NCAA Division 1 Championship game against Connecticut.[10] The same year, she was named the Most Valuable Player of the ACC Tournament.[10] Soccer News named her National Player of the Year.[10] As a junior, she was awarded the Hermann Trophy and MAC Sports Foundation National Player of the Year Award.[10] Soccer Times Magazine named her National Player of the Year as well.[10]

During her senior season, Parlow scored 21 goals, including 7 game-winners, and recorded 11 assists.[10] She was awarded the 1998 Hermann Trophy and 1998 Missouri Athletic Club Foundation Award as the National Collegiate Women's Soccer Player of the Year. Soccer News Magazine named her Player of the Year.[10] She was awarded the Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year and named to the All-ACC first team for the fourth consecutive year.[10]

Parlow was the youngest player on the American squad to compete at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta.[14] The '96 Olympics marked the first time that women's soccer (football) was played at the international tournament.[19] Led by head coach Tony DiCicco (the team's former goalkeeper coach at the 1991 FIFA Women's World Cup), the U.S. advanced to the semifinal after defeating Denmark and Sweden and tying with China in the group stage matches.[20] After defeating Norway 2–1 in the semi-final, the U.S. faced China for a second time in the final.[21] During the final in Athens, Georgia, 76,481 spectators were in the stands to watch the United States defeat China (a new world record for the most spectators to attend a women's sporting event).[21]

After 90 minutes of scoreless regulation time and 30 minutes of sudden death, the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup Final was decided by a penalty shootout between the U.S. and China. The five American players to take penalty kicks converted while China missed one attempt so that the U.S. won.[23] The final surpassed the 1996 Atlanta Olympic final as the most-attended women's sports event, with more than 90,000 people filling the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.[24][25] It held the record until 2014 for the largest U.S. television audience for a soccer match with 17,975,000 viewers. As of July 2015, it ranks third following the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup (25,400,000 viewers) and 2014 FIFA World Cup group stage match between the U.S. men's team and Portugal (18,220,000 viewers).[26] A week later, the team met President Clinton at the White House and flew with Hillary and Chelsea Clinton on Air Force Two to Cape Canaveral.[27][28]

[edit]

Raleigh Wings

[edit]

In February 1999 Parlow signed for USL W-League club Raleigh Wings.[47] She helped the Wings retain the W-League title, scoring against the Chicago Cobras in the championship game.[48]

Atlanta Beat: 2001–03

[edit]

Parlow was one of the twenty founding players of the Women's United Soccer Association (WUSA), the first professional women's soccer league in the United States, and captained the Atlanta Beat.[49][50] She led the team to the playoffs in each of the league's three seasons of operation (2001–2003).[1]

During the 2001 WUSA season, Parlow's five goals ranked first on the Beat and her seven assists ranked first.[1] During a match against the Philadelphia Charge on May 24, 2001, she scored a goal in the second minute of the match. On June 17, she scored a brace against the San Diego Spirit, including the game-winning goal to win 3–2. She earned the league's first red card during the same match after an altercation with Julie Foudy. Foudy was given a yellow card.[51] She scored another brace on July 22 to defeat the New York Power 2–0.[1][52] The league folded in September - five days before the 2003 FIFA Women's World Cup in the United States (originally slated for China, but moved due to the SARS epidemic.[49]

Atlanta finished the regular season in first place with a 10–4–7 record securing a spot in the playoffs.[53] During the semi-final match against the Philadelphia Charge, Parlow scored an equalizer in the 79th minute. During the second overtime period, she scored the league's first golden goal to advance the Beat to the Founders Cup championship match[54] where they were defeated in penalty shots by the San Jose CyberRays in front of 21,078 fans at Foxboro Stadium in Boston.[55]

During the 2002 WUSA season, Parlow scored five goals and provided four assists ranking third on the team with 14 points.[1] After playing the first two games of the season, Parlow was forced to miss the third due to FIFA rules and national team commitments.[1] She scored a goal against the Boston Breakers despite playing with a broken nose suffered in the fifth minute of the game.[56] Playing against the New York Power on June 9, she scored a goal and recorded an assist to Charmaine Hooper lifting the team to a 2–0 win.[57] The Beat finished the regular season in fourth place with a 11–9d=1 record and advanced to the Playoffs. They were defeated 2-1 by the Carolina Courage in the semi-finals.[58][59]

Parlow returned to the Beat for the 2003 WUSA season. On June 23, she scored a hat-trick against the Philadelphia Charge ending a three-game winless streak.[60] The Beat finished in second place with a 9–4–8 record two points behind Boston. They defeated the San Diego Spirit during the semifinals and advanced for the second time to the WUSA Founders Cup where they faced the Washington Freedom led by Mia Hamm and Abby Wambach. The Freedom won 2–1.[61]

Coaching career

[edit]

North Carolina Tar Heels, 2007–2012

[edit]

Parlow Cone was an assistant coach for the North Carolina Tar Heels from 2007 to 2012.[9] In 2012, she led practices while head coach Anson Dorrance spent time with his wife who was ill. He noted, "I had no issue telling the world she was my secret weapon." As of 2023, the season marked the last time the Tar Heels won the national championship (despite being the winningest team in the history of collegiate soccer).[62] She was also the director of coaching for under-15 to under-18 girls' soccer at Triangle United, a youth soccer club in Chapel Hill, for six years until 2012.[63]

Portland Thorns FC, 2013

In December 2012, Parlow Cone was hired as the head coach for Portland Thorns FC ahead of the inaugural season of the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL).[64][65] She became the first head coach to win an NWSL Championship, as Thorns FC beat Western New York Flash 2–0 in the first ever championship game August 31, 2013.[66] She resigned as head coach on December 5, 2013, citing personal reasons, particularly the desire of her and her husband, Portland Timbers director of sports science John Cone (who also resigned around the same time), to be together more.[67]

Parlow Cone served on the coaching staff for the under-14 and under-15 girls’ national teams from 2010 to 2013.[16] In 2015, she coached at the Berkshire Soccer Academy for Girls along with her former teammates Mia Hamm, Kristine Lilly, Tisha Venturini, and Brandi Chastain.[68] In 2019, she became a director of coaching for NCFC Youth, the youth division of North Carolina FC.[9]

Sports executive career

Parlow Cone served on U.S. Soccer's Referee Committee, Medical Advisory Committee, Appeals Committee, the Athletes’ Council, and Youth Task Force.[69] She was elected as Vice President of U.S. Soccer on February 16, 2019, filling the vacancy created when Carlos Cordeiro became president in February 2018.[70] She was re-elected Vice President in February 2020 for a full four-year term.[71]

In early March 2020, Parlow Cone was named President of U.S. Soccer after Carlos Cordeiro suddenly resigned after a growing outcry from players, board members, supporters and sponsors over assertions made in court documents.[72][73] One of her first acts as president was to apologize for a recent legal brief and "offensive assertions made by the Federation that do not represent our core values."[74] Running unopposed, she was re-elected President in February 2021 to finish the final year of Cordeiro's term.[75] On March 5, 2022, she was re-elected as president for a new four-year term, defeating Cordeiro in a weighted vote 52.9-47.1%.[76]

[edit]

Following the success of the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup, Parlow and her teammates were featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated as the Sportswomen of the Year.[77] In 2005, she was featured in the film, Dare to Dream: The Story of the U.S. Women's Soccer Team.[78] In 2008, she was featured in Winning Isn't Everything, The Untold Story of a Soccer Dynasty, a documentary film about the success of the Tar Heels women's soccer program and its players.[79] In 2013, she was featured in the ESPN series, Nine for IX: The '99ers.[80] In 2015, she was featured in HBO's Real Sports.[81]

Other work

[edit]

In 2015, Parlow Cone worked with the U.S. Department of State's Empowering Women and Girls through Sports Initiative to work with Jordanian under-17 national soccer team during a 10-day exchange program.[82] She has been a leader in raising awareness about concussion safety.[83][84][85] In December 2018, she was a presenter at the Draw for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup.[86]
