Episode notes

I didn't feel like I belonged for the longest time. It was just me fighting day to day not to be a star, but to like be included and for myself to feel validation that like I belonged because there was a lot of days that I would show up and I was like they are so much better than me. We actually lost in the group stage and I didn't play and it was my birthday. And I felt like through that tournament, that was a defining moment for me to at least have the confidence to be like, I deserve to be on that field and I wasn't.

1. How the Abby+Alex sisterhood began, how hard it was for Alex to watch Abby suffer at the end of her career, and how friends can build each other up.

2. How to get back on the field – in life and in sport – after crushing defeat.

3. The way Alex’s mom helped Alex fulfill her dream, and what Alex is teaching her own daughter, Charlie.

4. How Alex finally stopped comparing herself to others and started resting in her own confidence.

5. Alex’s relationship with soccer – and does she still love it?
