In recent years, Alex Morgan has become a household name in US soccer. The USWNT star has made quite a name for herself since she cemented her foot in the soccer world. She has enjoyed a spectrum of success both on and off the pitch, as the list of her achievements is countless.

Morgan has garnered huge fame and success over the years. She has endured a stellar career so far, both on international and domestic terms. Besides this, she also has numerous accolades to her name, however, you will be surprised to see what unique title she holds.

Alex Morgan holds a unique award to her name

Be it the World Cup or the domestic cup, Morgan has won it all. The forward has racked up more than 100 goals for her nation and has won two World Cups so far. She’ll be looking to add a third one this year, but that is still a long road ahead. Aside from this, individually, she has won many awards. However, there is a special award that she received.

Besides being an athlete, Morgan is quite a master of literature. The San Diego Waves player holds the title of New York Times best-selling author. She actually released a book called “The Kicks” for adolescent readers.

The book was published in May 2013, and it created a huge record. The book ranked seven on the list of the New York Times Best Sellers for middle school-age children. The book was actually about soccer, but it carries messages about empowerment, self-confidence, and teamwork.

It would be quite surprising for all those who didn’t know about this until now. Either way, it’s still a great achievement to have a book of your own and also to get rewarded for it. This shows she has intelligence both on and off the pitch. She’ll also be looking to exhibit the same intelligence for her domestic side, who recently endured a poor loss.

Endured poor NWSL loss

The 2023 season of the NWSL is going well so far. All the teams are eager to finish the season on a high note. Morgan’s San Diego Waves are also looking to make a significant impact this season. So far, three matchdays have taken place, and each of them has produced some exciting results, especially in the case of the Waves.

Out of three, they have won just two, as the recent loss came against Megan Rapinoe’s OL Reign. Casey Stone’s side suffered a narrow 0-1 loss against last year’s champions. Both sides were on the verge of sharing points until Reign’s Olivia Van der Jagt clinched a 95th-minute winner, thus shattering the hearts of the Waves. Either way, they’ll be looking to bounce back in the next fixture.
