"Alex Morgan joined the US women's national soccer team (USWNT) as a super talented and tenacious twenty-year-old, and throughout her head-turning career, she has been a dynamic force on the field while transforming the sport for generations of young girls dreaming of following in her legendary footsteps. Operating with a ruthless blend of speed and skill, she is one of the world's supreme goal scorers and prolific playmakers. A two-time World Cup winner, an Olympic gold medalist, and a champion in both the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) and its predecessor, the Women's Professional Soccer league (WPS), she also somehow found time amid all that winning to be a driving force behind the gender discrimination lawsuit against her employer-the United States Soccer Federation, commonly referred to as U.S. Soccer-that produced an historic agreement in 2022 ensuring an equal pay rate for players on the men's and women's national teams. Morgan scored her first USWNT goal in 2010 in an international friendly (meaning an exhibition game not linked to any competition) against China, and ever since has been scoring big goals in bunches. Dicing up defenders and tormenting goalkeepers across the globe, she's a nightmare for opponents with her dazzling versatility: Morgan has a lethal left foot that crushes shots, an equally potent right foot, and she's arguably one of the best headers of the ball in the world, often elevating, executing, and electrifying in the congested and combative areas around the net. With a staggering 123 goals-and counting-she ranks fifth all-time in national team history behind Abby Wambach (184), Mia Hamm (158), Carli Lloyd (134) and Kristine Lilly (130). Her trophy case is also stuffed with some of the biggest awards in the game: twice she's been named the U.S. Soccer Female Athlete of the Year (2012 and 2018); she won the ESPY Award for Best Female Athlete in 2019; she's the four-time CONCACAF Women's Player of the Year (2013, 2016, 2017, 2018); she won the FIFA Women's World Cup Silver Boot in 2019; and the National Women's Soccer League Golden Boot in 2022 as the league's top scorer at the age of thirty-two, after being away from the game for five months while giving birth to her daughter. Widely admired for her game on the field, and her huge heart for helping others off it, she is one of the most popular figures in the history of US soccer"--
