Alex Morgan is a soccer superstar with a down-to-earth charm that makes her a relatable athlete. She made history as the youngest player on the US Women’s National Team at just 22 years old and has since become one of the most influential female athletes in the world. As a trailblazer for women’s soccer, she’s also broken barriers as the first female soccer player to grace the cover of the popular FIFA video game series and is one of the highest paid female athletes.

In addition to her impressive career achievements, Morgan has been using her platform to speak out against sexual abuse in women’s soccer. She recently called out the system’s failure to support her former teammate, Mana Shim, who spoke out about sexual harassment by her coach, Paul Riley. Despite taking the proper steps, Shim was let down by her club, league, and the overall system. An independent investigation has since revealed the widespread nature of emotional abuse and sexual misconduct across multiple teams, coaches, and players in the National Women’s Soccer League.
