It was cool !I do like soccer!😊
This book is amazing! Buy it right now! I play soccer and so does Alex Morgan.
Alex Morgan is one of my biggest influnces, if you have never heard of her I highly recomend reading this book or reaserching Alex on the internet. I am still reading the book but I'm spending 3 hours a day reading this book, it is so intresting learning about Alex Morgan's past. I play soccer just like Alex Morgan.
i wanna read it so bad
I am a really big fan of Alex Morgan, which is why I decided to read this book.......and I loved it so much! It starts out when Alex was playing AYSO soccer when she was five, but when she was eight she decided that soccer was her passion and her big time goal was to play professional soccer. Alex eventually started playing club soccer, then high school, then college. When she was in high school she got recruited for her college team, and after that in college she got invited to a training camp with the national team! Alex played in the world cup for 2012, but sadly the US Women's Team lost in the finals, but Alex was determined to reach her goal of winning the world cup and also getting an olympic gold medal. She achieved both of these goals in the years after, and she is such an inspiration to me (I was riveted to my TV when I was watching the 2019 world cup and was so excited when the US team won!) but Alex had to work really hard for these goals, it wasn't like they were just handed to her. She had to battle through injuries, other commitments, traveling, and very hectic schedules! I would definitely recommend this to any middle schooler who loves soccer, or not! My reason being that the book isn't all about soccer, it is about working hard to reach your goals. This was a very inspiring book to me, just like Alex Morgan, and I really liked it a lot. I especially liked how I connected to it because I love to play soccer also (I play under the number 13 too, just like Alex Morgan) but you don't have to love soccer to read this book because that is not what it is all about, it also has very good messages and lessons that will stay with you long after you put the book down. I hope you will give this very inspiring book a try, even if it might not look interesting at first.
This book is awsome ! If you haven't read it read it. Unless you are not intreted in soccer. But, Alex's carrier is amazing. I wish I was like her!
This book is amazing if you are interested in soccer and Alex Morgan it is really inspiring
