Through the success of Alex Morgan’s soccer career she has
become a big time role model to many young female athletes. Morgan, star of the
women's national team, “is much bigger than a mere rock star”. Being a top role
model, Morgan took the time to run her first soccer camp for boys and girls on
December 30th of 2013 in Pomona, California which had drawn over
hundreds of grade school girls. She wanted to do more than just give back to
the girls, Morgan wanted to share her love of soccer with the girls and let
them know that their dreams and goals to become a National Women’s Soccer
player can turn into reality. Alex Morgan said she was definitely not the most
technical person on the national team. “I’ve really focused hard on that the
last couple of years: getting my first touch down, working on my technique,
getting that repetition that I didn’t get when I was younger. She felt that you
are able to learn much more when you’re younger. “If they can learn good
technique when they’re younger, they can be even better than the player that I
have become.” Not only does she run soccer camps, Morgan also has her own book
called, "Saving the Team," the first in a series of children's books
about four soccer players called "The Kicks," debuted at No. 7 on The
New York Times best-seller list for children's middle grade. At the end of the
day in my opinion Alex Morgan is one of the best women role models because she
gives off a positive image of herself and she never forgets where she comes
from. Not only does she want to remain successful she wants the future of young
boys but mainly girls to improve on becoming successful.
