- And as we were walking on the field,
she was like, "Okay mommy's soccer game first
"and then Charlie plays after?"
And I was like, "That's right, yeah."
Hey GQ, I'm Alex Morgan, and these are my essentials.
[calm music]
These are my Panda Dunks, and they're actually
really dirty right now, so don't judge me,
but I wear them like all the time,
Nike's just my go-to.
Doesn't matter, any outfit.
But these just go with everything.
Dunks are my favorite Nike shoe right now.
I liked J1s too, but Dunk, 'cause they're similar,
but I just feel like Dunks are like more casual.
They're kind of like you could just wear them
with everything, you can travel with them,
you can wear them with leggings, with jeans,
it doesn't matter, so these are definitely
just my go-tos, which you can tell
'cause they're very dirty.
- [Speaker] You really can't tell that they're dirty.
- Oh, that's great, good.
'Cause I can see like stains in here, yeah.
Floss picks are literally the essential of life.
I feel like I use them literally six times a day,
so they travel with me everywhere.
It doesn't matter if they're in a bag or loose
or like whatever in my purse, or my suitcase,
like they are everywhere.
I hate food in my teeth, it's just like
the worst feeling in the world,
not having something to get food out of your teeth,
so it's just floss picks, like just make you feel better.
The picks are just easy.
You can grab it and it's on the go
and it looks better, like it's more aesthetically pleasing
to just use a floss pick rather than like wrap floss
around your finger, like people only use floss picks, right?
Do people use real floss nowadays? I don't know.
This is my mama ring, I'm just very proud
to be mom of my daughter, Charlie.
She's two and a half.
I believe I got this for myself for Mother's Day.
It's just like a reminder that like life
is so much more than like what you, you know,
do for a living or anything else,
like my daughter means everything to me.
She loves playing.
We actually walked to the game, we walked off the bus
and into the locker room together the other day,
and as we were walking on the field,
she was like, "Okay, mommy's soccer game first,
"and then Charlie plays after?"
And I was like, "That's right, yeah.
"I play first and then you come on the field
"and then you can play," so she already knows
like after the game's done, she gets her chance
with her soccer ball, she kicks it around
with me and my teammates and that just makes everything
like so great and like I just immediately feel happy.
These are my two sunscreens I live by.
You have to understand literally as a soccer player,
I spend like at least four hours in the sun
every single day.
You have to protect your skin.
Not even joking, so these are my two go-tos.
They're just, it's essential.
I probably got good about wearing sunscreen
like when I got to college, like when I was 18,
so before that, it was probably more like tanning oil.
[chuckles]
I'm like the one person that like 10 to 15 minutes
before training, before soccer practice,
I honestly just like lather my whole body with sunscreen,
but face is so important.
So it's something like I never skip.
At the end of the day, like you're already feeling
like red and exhausted because you just like exerted
so much energy, your body is like so tired,
so the worst thing you want is then to like
just the next day wake up and have just like your face
that's so sunburned and you feel like terrible
'cause your body's already gonna be feeling terrible
from double day, so I'm using it, I mean honestly,
like three times a day I feel like at least.
When I was a kid, I feel like I liked
when I was sunburned, because then that meant
you were gonna get a tan after, yeah, no.
Do not burn, wear sunscreen.
[clips clatter]
These are hair clips.
These are my daughter Charlie's hair clips,
and I feel like they're just like the one thing
that like just wraps up her whole outfit,
and I don't know why I'm super into bows and clips,
but I am, and I always travel with like at least 10.
These cute ones are the ones that I love her to wear
like on mom's game days.
There's like so many other ones, though,
like literally her rainbow ones, like it doesn't matter.
She's starting to get more picky honestly,
like I'll ask her what like clips she wants to wear,
if she wants like a pony or half-up half-down,
and like where she wants her bow,
so she is definitely always like having an opinion,
more and more each day.
She's two and a half right now,
but going on like 14.
This is literally one tenth of like the stash
that she has at home.
She has like at least 100.
This is my iPad, I mean I keep it in my purse,
I make sure like I have a bag big enough to carry this
because it's good just for like interviews,
like obviously everyone lives on Zoom now,
so it's good for that and having any like Zoom meetings,
but also I watch a lot of film.
I feel like on your phone, it's just like
not a big enough screen, so I always take
my iPad in order to like watch film review
like the last games that we played in.
My most used app is actually, it's called Huddle.
It's a game film like app, so I watch training,
I watch games, like our coaches cut up films
so we can watch stuff.
Other than that, I feel like Netflix
is definitely a big one, 'cause I watch a lot of shows,
I watch a lot of like real-life like murder mystery stuff,
which yeah, people are like,
"Why do you do that to yourself?"
I'm always scared when I sleep at home alone,
but I can't help it.
This is Anastasia Brow Gel, and as you can see,
I love big brows and I love them brushed up.
I just feel like my eyebrows, they kind of sometimes
you know, if you put a shirt on and then your eyebrow
can look bad and you just like,
you need your brush and you need to make sure
you look good.
I think my brows are the last thing that I do.
I'm more just like very casual and lowkey,
'cause I'm usually coming off the soccer field,
like doing things maybe interviews
or meetings and then picking up my daughter from school,
so it's very much like a just very casual look.
No, I wear brow gel all the time,
like when I'm on the field and when I'm off the field.
It's actually really important to wear it
when I'm on the field 'cause when I'm like pulling my jersey
on and off, like maybe I switch jerseys at halftime,
sometimes if I'm like pretty sweaty,
the brow gel just saves me from my eyebrows
just like falling down.
I like them to just be a little more clean.
Okay, this is BODYARMOR Water.
I probably drink like I don't know,
equivalent of three of these a day,
pretty much like as an athlete, you need to be hydrated.
I mean, bottom line, so if I'm talking about essentials,
like yeah, water.
I know this is good, it's like pH balanced.
It's from a brand that I trust,
and it's just easy to carry around as well,
and it's kind of like a big one,
so it's like if you're not drinking this
throughout the day, you know
you're not getting hydrated enough.
So these are my Beats headphones.
I really like the color lavender, first of all,
and these are like just like in-earbuds,
so they're good for just like hanging around,
listening to music, on calls.
I'm not really someone who loves
like the over-ear headphones.
You can't like hear what's going on
if you're wearing those, so these are just
like really easy and it's so easy to travel with,
like being efficient as a packer and making sure
when I travel all the time, and making sure
that I have space for everything,
these are so easy to travel with.
It's also a great way to like tell my daughter like,
"Hey, I'm busy, I have like a call to take,"
and so I'm showing her like I have something to do,
rather than if she just sees like the phone,
she wants to see who's on the phone,
she wants to FaceTime them, she wants to talk to them,
she wants to get all up in it.
So this is like a sign like okay, I'm working.
Mom's working.
Okay, this is the last one.
This is my Hublot watch, I don't know how to show it.
[laughs]
I'm like I don't know, here.
So this is my Hublot watch.
I just feel like every outfit needs to have a watch with it.
It just makes everything look better,
it makes the outfit look nice.
I feel like empty when I don't have something on my wrist.
I don't know if other people feel that way,
but I always just feel like I need a watch
to like not only tell the time,
but it's also like sometimes a fashion statement as well,
and this is mine.
I do love the gold and I love how kind of the face of it,
it has just like the three speed dial,
but it also like has some sort of like
asymmetrical formation to it, so I feel like
it's kind of like, can be worn every day,
but then it does have something unique
that sets it apart as well.
I have a watch collection, yes,
and they mostly consist of Hublot watches,
because they're just so fun.
When I go into a Hublot store, like I can't help it,
like their watches are absolutely beautiful
and they're like statement pieces.
You can like dress them up or dress them down,
but they're always just like so timeless and classic.
Thanks so much for watching,
and I'll see you guys at the World Cup.
