Alex Morgan Shares Emotional Reaction to Surprise Nike Gifts

"When I first started playing soccer, I didn't know what was possible. I don't feel like there were a lot of female legends of the game. So, knowing that I played a small part in building the game is really special to me," she added.

"I had no expectations of being that when I was a young girl. Years and years of my life. To see everything really written out. It's more than I could have ever dreamt of, really."

Alex Morgan Admits Receiving Little Support After Announcing Pregnancy

Recently, Morgan made headlines when she broke her silence in an interview with Spread the Jelly, revealing that she received little post-pregnancy support.

“I was at the peak of my career when I had my daughter. I didn’t get a lot of positive feedback when I announced my pregnancy,” she said. “And that’s because women are simply not set up for success as working moms, or as moms in general.”

In the same interview, the former San Diego Wave player criticized the United States soccer system for the complete lack of support received post-pregnancy.

“My daughter was only four months old, and I was playing while away from her dad, my husband, for months at a time,” Morgan said. “I went to the Olympics in Tokyo a year after giving birth. I couldn’t bring her with me; none of our family could come either, since no fans were allowed. I was away from her for more than 30 days.”
