The program also explored her time playing in the United States, where she recalled driving a second-generation Jeep Cherokee and a GMC Envoy. Sawa shared personal anecdotes from her American career, including the financial difficulties she faced and the challenges of overcoming language barriers to earn the trust of her teammates.
