10 Things USWNT's Ashley Sanchez Can't Live Without

Hi, I'm Ashley Sanchez

with the US Women's National Team and Washington Spirit,

and these are my essentials.

[upbeat music]

Always incognito.

Not that I'm like, famous or anything,

but like, you just gotta like,

not let people know what you're up to, ever.

[Ashley chuckling]

I have a really small head

and I felt like these were the only ones that fit.

So I just, you know, got them,

and I wear them every day.

Soon as the sun's out,

you gotta bring the shades out, you know?

Oh my gosh.

[upbeat music]

I feel like when you're just in the sun all day

and you put sunscreen on,

you don't want it to be like, white,

you gotta get the tinted one,

so you still got that good little glow going

and it doesn't have benzone in it.

You have to wear sunscreen

if you wanna stay having young skin,

especially when you're in the sun all day.

The farmer's tan comes with the profession.

You know, you could wear a tank,

but there's not much you can do for that specifically.

It's more like the shorts tan.

Shorts tan is the worst.

My next essential are my Sambas.

They became very popular very quick,

but they're a great everyday shoe,

I feel like they go with everything,

and they're kind of like little old school shoes,

so that's what I love about them.

[upbeat music]

My next essential is my Championship ring.

Well, this is our club's first championship,

so I feel like it's just was a big moment,

and my first championship with the team,

hopefully we can get another one.

But yeah, it's just really special,

it's kinda like, the first big thing I ever won,

so pretty important.

It says the year on the side, NWSL Championship,

with our logo, the name, and number.

It actually says a score on the inside,

I never noticed that before.

I probably have never worn it before, honestly,

but it's still really cool to have.

But I keep it at home in a box.

[upbeat music]

My next essential is my mini iPad.

Romance books only. Obviously, come on.

Let's see what I got on here, actually.

Let's see what the last one I finished was.

Ooh, Mia Sheridan, Archer's Voice.

Great book.

You know, it's very versatile.

It's really whatever you want it to be.

And it's very like, handy,

like, you can just like, you know, put in a bag,

not taking up too much space,

and it's a cute little color, kinda matches my nails.

[upbeat music]

Honestly, it's the only pretzels that have some flavor.

We always have then at camp,

and at every away trip,

we try to grab them in the airport or to have on the plane.

They got some garlic and spices,

you know, that's all you need.

[gentle upbeat music]

Let's see what it says,

I think it says a million, trillion probiotics in it.

9 billion living probiotics.

Usually, it's Synergy pineapple,

the raspberry one or the strawberry one.

I actually do drink this one.

This is just like, the regular, original one.

It tastes pretty good.

It's good for your gut health, so I just went for it.

I'm not like, a junk food eater,

but I do like, eat candy sometimes.

Anything sour, like Sour Patch Kids, sour ropes.

Like, if I have kombucha,

I have it with like, a healthier meal.

I got my candy, I just do that on the side.

[upbeat music]

I saw it on TikTok and it kind of went viral,

so I was like, you know, maybe I should try it out.

Yeah, I think it's just like,

a little hydration toner situation.

It's been pretty good ever since.

It's really important when you're traveling a lot

into different climates

and just weather in general to just have a routine.

[upbeat music]

This thing is a gift from God.

When you had a lot of baby hairs and flyaways,

it really just like, sleeks it back.

I found this a couple months ago,

and I have like, 15 of them now,

because I use it every day.

I mean, I'm not really heading the ball that much,

but I mean, you're on TV, you wanna look good.

I honestly looked really wild before,

you know, no one told me how crazy I looked

until this moment when I got this.

It was bad. It was really bad.

[upbeat music]

Naomi told me that I needed to get it,

and she was like, yelling at me about it,

so then I was like, I'll see,

and then I went into Sephora and I smelled it,

and I was like, You're right girl, I gotta get it.

As soon as your teammate gets something that's really good,

you talk about it,

and then everyone just starts buying

other things other people have,

'cause you're always together and you respect their opinion.

Well, I don't wear perfume on the field,

outside of the field, any other place, I definitely wear it.

I wouldn't wanna smell bad on the field,

but like, that's not really something I think about.

[upbeat music]

You know you wanna have a purse when you're traveling,

but you don't need it to be like,

something crazy when you enter a soccer team.

I feel like this is a good, little casual bag.

I got my wallet,

I got a camera from Trent's 21st birthday [laughs],

got my passport, and a DripDrop.

Very essential, just like, electrolytes.

Dump it in some water and chug it and you're good to go.

This bag fits a lot more than it looks.

I do travel with quite a bit of things

and it all seems to fit in here.

GQ, thank you so much for having me.

I hope that you guys learned a little bit about me

through my essentials, and see you in Australia.
