Little Miss Perfect

Twenty-three-year-old Alex Morgan earned the starting job for the U.S. Women's National Team in 2012. That year, she led the U.S. to absolute victory with twenty-eight goals, twenty-one assists, and seventy-seven points, joining the legendary Mia Hamm as the only U.S. player to tally twenty goals and twenty assists in one calendar year. Dubbed U.S. Soccer's 2012 Female Athlete of the Year, it was clear that Alex Morgan was on the rise as the goal scoring continued into 2013, helping the Portland Thorns FC earn the inaugural NWSL championship.

But during an international friendly in October, the young, promising striker took a turn for the worse. A steady stream of inconsistent playing time with an injury planted and nurtured the seeds of doubt within her. What happens when Little Miss Perfect discovers that she isn't so perfect after all?
