Exclusive Q&A: Jodie Taylor and Alex Morgan Discuss Football, Inspirations, and Future Goals
Jodie Taylor: Hey Alex! Great to catch up with you. It’s been a whirlwind couple of seasons, hasn’t it?
Alex Morgan: Absolutely, Jodie! From playing in different countries to winning titles, it’s been quite the journey. Speaking of journey, you’ve played in quite a few leagues. Which one has been your favorite?
Jodie Taylor: That’s a tough one! Each league has its own unique vibe. I loved my time in the NWSL, especially the culture around soccer in the US, but playing in England feels like coming home. There’s something special about being a part of the growth of women’s football there. How about you, Alex? What’s been a standout moment for you?
Alex Morgan: Oh, the Women’s World Cup win in 2019 is definitely up there. The energy, the fans, the whole experience was surreal. But on a personal level, getting back on the field post-pregnancy was pretty huge for me. It was a different kind of triumph.
Jodie Taylor: I can only imagine. Your comeback was inspiring to so many! Speaking of inspiration, who has been your biggest influence in your career?
Alex Morgan: Honestly, I’d say my family. They’ve been my rock through everything. On the professional side, players like Mia Hamm really set the stage for all of us. What about you, Jodie?
Jodie Taylor: I’d have to agree with family being a huge support. Professionally, Kelly Smith was a big influence on me. Her skill and determination were something I always admired. So, what’s next on your agenda, Alex?
Alex Morgan: Just focusing on the upcoming season and, of course, balancing football with family life. Also, advocating for equal pay and more recognition for women’s sports. And you, Jodie? Any big plans?
Jodie Taylor: I’m looking forward to mentoring younger players and possibly getting into coaching. It’s about giving back to the sport that’s given us so much. And who knows, maybe a book someday!
Alex Morgan: I’ll be first in line to read it! Keep smashing those goals, Jodie. Our journey is far from over.
Jodie Taylor: Absolutely, Alex. Here’s to many more wins, on and off the field!
