lovealexmorgan13:“I knew Kristine was retiring and I went up to her and asked her if after she was done she could pass down the number – sort of joking, but really not joking – just getting a feel for how she felt about that. And she said, ‘Yeah, of course, I would love to pass that down to you.’ She was so open about it, which made me feel a lot better about things. One of the reasons I wear No. 13 is because she was one of my biggest role models growing up and so it meant so much to allow me to wear that after such a historic career that she had.” “Kristine really was one of my biggest role models growing up. In the soccer world, she was a huge inspiration. Just what she did on the field, the confidence that she carried and the leadership role that she grew into, I just have so much respect for her.”“It was a little bit of a surreal experience to be able to play during her last six months and my first six months on the National Team. She played so many years on this team, is the most-capped women’s player in the world, so it was incredible to be able to see. She’s super comfortable with who she was. She was a true leader. When she spoke, people listened.”- Alex Morgan (x) -- source link
