Women's Professional Soccer Player

Improved Essays
What soccer player on the U.S team won olympic gold and the FIFA Women’s World Cup? If you said Alex Morgan, you are correct. Alex came to be the youngest player of the U.S women’s national soccer team in 2009. In 2011 she was the first chosen at the Women’s Professional soccer draft. In 2012 at the Summer Olympic Games, because she helped the U.S women’s team beat Japan, she received her first Olympic gold medal. Three years later, she defeated Japan, again, in order to win the FIFA Women’s World Cup. I think she is really successful and investing in a stock will help her one day. Her salary is $450,000 a year, which would help her future business if she ever decides to make one. One stock I believe that Alex could invest in is Target (TGT).
