Summary

Two-time World Cup champion Alex Morgan has never seen a challenge she didn’t drive at full speed. In 2019, her U.S. Women’s National Team broke viewership records, scoring records, and glass ceilings. She kept up the momentum with big changes in 2020, having her first baby and moving halfway around the world — all during a global pandemic. As the first guest of 2021, the star forward shares how she’s kept her mind in the game even when the play stopped, and she gives us a peek into daily nutrition and training routines that could help us all keep our goals in sight.
