Today, Alex Morgan announced her retirement. In 2019, she shared a note that she wrote as a little girl: “I can also become really contemplative. Like — I’ll look at the little kids holding the flag, and I’ll think, Hmm, I wonder what their stories are. I wonder if they know who we are. I wonder what they’re thinking right now. In fact, they touch upon issues that are very important to me. Because when I look at the kids holding the flag, and I zoom in on the girls, I feel as if I am looking into the future. I wonder if one of these girls will become one of our next soccer stars, one of those who will inspire the next generation. I really hope so … but I also know how difficult their journeys are going to be. The challenges, the obstacles, the doubt. The difficulties that come with being a female athlete. And let me just say right now, none of these issues goes away just because you become a professional soccer player. (More on that later.) But the hardest part is to overcome them the very first time. And that, in turn, sends me back to the past. Because when I look at the girls, I also see something familiar. Something I recognize. I see … well, I see myself. She is a seven-year-old girl. She is walking into the home office of her mother. She grabs a yellow sticky pad. She makes a note on it. The note that will change her entire life. I still don’t know why I wrote what I did. I had never watched a women’s soccer match on TV. I didn’t know there was a professional league. I didn’t even know that women’s soccer was a thing beyond playing for fun. But one day I went with my older sister to our mom’s office. My sister found the yellow pad, and wrote a note to Mom saying what she wanted to be when she grew up. She wanted to be a model. And so I was like, Well, I’m gonna write a note too. And I’m gonna stick it up there so Mom sees it. I took the pad, grabbed a pen, and scribbled down my dream. ‘I am going to be a professional athlete for soccer! Love always, Ali Cat.’ My mom still has that note, by the way.” https://t.co/UBfJQKDduz
