Don't get frustrated.

Keep your head down,

and just focus on the pass.

Great.

Try your left foot now.

Nice.

ALEX:

That one was really good.

REAGAN:

Thanks. Ha, ha.

ALEX:

Keep going.

Perfect.

Nice.

REAGAN:

Wanna train tomorrow?

Say when, I'll be there.

I'll do what it takes.

ALEX:
Good, because

that is what it takes.

Okay. Ready?

- That's all right.

- REAGAN:
Okay.

I was waiting in the moment

For the beat of love...

REAGAN:

Thank you.

Hello.

Cute new boy coming

on your right at 3 o'clock.

Play it smooth. Claire's

getting ready to make her move.

ALEX:

Hey, Reagan.

[GASPS]

I'm so sorry! Oh.

- Real smooth, Regs.

- [SIGHS]

I thought

we were training today.

Oh, Ben.

Are you okay?

What's your glitch?

No worries. All good.

I, uh...

I am so, so sorry.

I-I-I saw a spider.

[SQUEAKS]

Um, yeah, must have been

a big spider, then, huh?

Y-Yeah. Mm-hm.

I'm Ben.

Ready?

[GIGGLES]

[THROUGH TEETH]

Right now?

Um, I'm pretty sure

I've always been Ben.

I mean, at least

since I was born.

[IN NORMAL VOICE] Wait, what?

No, no, no! I'm sorry, no.

No, um, I'm... I'm Reagan.

Whatever it takes. Remember?

This is what it takes.

You said we were

training today. Your words.

If you don't want my help...

Wait, wait,

wait, wait!

Uh.

I have to go.

GRACE:

Hi. I'm Grace.

Please.

C'mon, Ben.

Come sit with us.

ALEX:
Perfect. Keep going.

Keep going.

Now let's turn it around,

do inside, outside the foot.

REAGAN:

Okay.

ALEX:

Good turn. Good.

- All right, let's do sole rolls.

- REAGAN:
Okay.

That was harsh.

At the burger place.

When I was your age,

I practiced every day.

Yeah, but you're

Alex Morgan.

Not back then. I was just

a kid with a dream.

Like you right now.

Look around.

How many other people do you

see out here practicing?

- Nobody.

- ALEX:
Exactly.

You know who else used

to do hours of practice?

Not only because she had to,

but because she had a dream?

Mia Hamm.

You know who else used

to do practice rain or shine

on any field or driveway

she could find? Abby Wambach.

[LAUGHS]

You know who never

did extra practice,

who only did what

she had to do,

and just hung out

on the weekends?

- Who?

- Natalie Gunderson.

Who's Natalie Gunderson?

Exactly.

All right, keep going.

Sole rolls.

You're getting

a lot better. Good.

[ALARM BUZZING]

[GROANS]

No.

[ALARM BUZZING]

[SIGHS]

[ALARM STOPS]

At 6 a.m.? Seriously?

Rise and shine!

Keep going. You can do it.

Come on.

You're out here working

toward your dreams

while Natalie Gunderson

is sleeping. And done.

[GROANS]

[PANTING]

I am so jealous of

Natalie Gunderson

ALEX:

Good. Turn around.

- Jeez.

- REAGAN:
Okay.
