Servando Carrasco's wife Alex Morgan shares a glimpse of the routines that shape success beyond the soccer field

Former soccer star Alex Morgan is still drawing attention from fans even after stepping away from professional play. The longtime United States Women’s National Team forward recently shared a post on Instagram about her new partnership with Henkel. In the post, Morgan spoke about the simple routines that help athletes feel ready before stepping onto the field.

Morgan announced her retirement from professional soccer in September 2024. After years with the United States Women’s National Team, she left the game as one of its most recognized players. These days, she spends more time working on business ventures and focusing on family life.

Alex Morgan’s latest partnership highlights the everyday habits that help athletes feel confident before game day

The Instagram post shared by Morgan focused on the idea that success often begins with small daily habits. She spoke about routines like preparing gear, washing jerseys, and getting mentally ready before a match. Those quiet moments are often a big part of an athlete’s preparation.

Morgan explained the message behind the partnership in the caption of her post. She wrote, “I’m proud to partner with @Henkel to celebrate the everyday rituals and moments that matter. From freshly washed jerseys, gameday hairstyles, and the confidence that comes from gear made to perform, Winning doesn’t begin at kickoff. Winning Starts at Home.”

The message connected with many fans who follow Morgan online. Many people see her as more than just a former soccer player. Over the years she has become a public figure who talks openly about sports, family, and life beyond competition.

Among those who reacted to the post was her husband, Servando Carrasco. Carrasco showed his support by liking the post on Instagram. The couple has often supported each other’s careers and milestones over the years.

Carrasco built his own path in professional soccer. During his playing years he appeared for several Major League Soccer teams including Seattle Sounders, Houston Dynamo, Orlando City SC, Sporting Kansas City, and LA Galaxy. His career included more than 160 appearances in MLS.

Morgan and Carrasco’s story began long before their professional careers took off. The two first met during their freshman year at the University of California, Berkeley, where both were student athletes. Soccer played a big role in bringing them together.

Carrasco once spoke about watching Morgan develop as a young player during those college years. Her ability was clear, but she was still growing into the player she would become later.

“She was very raw,” Carrasco told MLS Soccer while remembering Morgan’s early days in college soccer. Over time, that early potential grew into a career that made Morgan one of the most well known names in women’s soccer.
