A two-time World Cup winner and an Olympic gold medalist, Alex has twice been a finalist for FIFA’s World Player of the Year. In this conversation, Alex talks with teammate and friend Kelley O’Hara in her first full-length interview since giving birth to daughter Charlie in May.

Alex likewise discusses her decision to attend UC Berkeley and what it was like to make her USWNT debut at age 20. Her and Kelley reflect on the influence Abby Wambach had on their careers and why the 2011 World Cup was a turning point for the team, despite the fact they lost to Japan in the final. Alex gives the backstory to her infamous tea celebration against England in the 2019 World Cup, which both her and Kelley agree was a tournament like no other (and which concluded with an epic, post-victory pool party.) Alex likewise discusses her post-pregnancy return-to-play protocol as she looks ahead to competing at the 2021 Olympics in Tokyo.
