USWNT superstar Alex Morgan is a role model for many. Her goal-scoring exploits have helped her club and USWNT. Apart from on-field accomplishments, the player has contributed off the field. She was one of the players who fought for pay equity for women soccer players. Their fight was successful, and US Soccer reached an agreement with the players.

Many of her teammates have praised the contribution of Morgan to the development of women’s soccer. Recently, her USWNT teammate Lynn Williams was the one who hailed the San Diego Wave forward for her contributions to NWSL. Williams thanked Morgan for it.

However, Williams took the opportunity to thank Morgan for what she has done for women’s soccer in the US. Williams said, “I think that a lot of people see you as like amazing Alex Morgan, amazing goal scorer, beautiful woman, but they don’t necessarily always see all the things that you do behind the scenes.”
