Alex Morgan joins Greg Olsen to challenge the way we think about youth sports, early specialization and the pressure young athletes face today. Morgan opens up about being a “late” player who didn’t join club soccer until age 13, why her parents never rushed her development, and how choosing her own path helped fuel her career to the highest levels of the sport. She also shares her perspective as a parent, explaining why she believes kids should be exposed to multiple sports, why parents shouldn’t push extra training before a child actually wants it, and how too much competition and travel can take the fun out of sports. Plus, Morgan discusses the importance of high school sports, building confidence and community, and the one major change she would make to youth sports in America.
