'My hope is that when Charlie grows up, there will be true equality.'
As Morgan makes her debut for the Women's Super League in Europe, the award-winning athlete is opening up about how she stayed in game shape throughout her pregnancy, how she's gearing up for the fall season, and how she's working to reimagine the future of female sports for Charlie and female athletes to come.Morgan announced her pregnancy in October 2019, and at the time, the soccer player had the goal of returning for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics .
"I was still working out and training as much as my body allowed me," she says."I wasn't doing things that would put my body in total exhaustion like I would do before pregnancy. I was just giving myself a little bit more grace with that in knowing that I was growing a baby. I didn’t want to put any additional stress on my body, my mind, my heart, or on Charlie."
For Morgan, it was all about balance and listening to her body throughout her pregnancy."I did a lot of spin classes," she says."I went on a lot of runs—more like walk-runs—and then around the last month of pregnancy I increased my walking and weight lifting as well."

Fourth Championship Win Definitively Proves LeBron James Is An Active NBA PlayerKISSIMMEE, FL—Cementing his place as being part of the annals of basketball history, league sources confirmed Friday that LeBron James capturing his fourth championship definitively proved that he is an active NBA player. “I don’t know how you look at LeBron’s body of work and deny that he’s in the elite club of people who have played basketball professionally,” said Washington Post NBA writer Ben Golliver, who compared James to the likes of Tim Duncan, Sidney Moncrief, and Greg Ostertag as men who have logged minutes for NBA teams. “He was already an active player before the title, but it’s clear now that he ranks right up there with Jordan alphabetically. We’re talking about a cherished member of the NBA Players Association.
