Earlier this month, the captain of the San Diego Wave told PEOPLE, "[Parenthood] just makes me feel more balanced all around."

"I'm able to give everything to the sport and my teams, but when I go home, I'm not dwelling on whether I had a bad training or bad game. I just have to be a mom, and tend to my child's needs instead of overanalyzing things."

She added, "Plus, whether the game was bad or not when I step off the field and my daughter runs up to me, everything's good."

Morgan said being a mom has also taught her patience she didn't always have.

"I'm a lot more calm and level-headed in how I approach soccer now," she shared. "I'm also feeling confident, and like I'm playing my best soccer. I feel capable, like someone the younger players can look to in times of uncertainty."

So has Charlie shown an interest in the sport herself?

"She does already love soccer, but she's just pretty athletic in general," Morgan said. "She's very competitive, and when we get to a hotel she wants to race me down the hallway. Be the one to touch the walls first. She wants to sing and dance all day and all night. She's very active!"
