To our incredible baby Lexi,

As we head into the World Cup final, I wanted to take a moment to express how incredibly proud I am of you. At just 18 years old, you're stepping up to lead our team as captain, and I couldn't be more thrilled. Your talent, determination, and leadership shine bright, and I have no doubt you'll lead us to victory.

It breaks my heart that I won't be out there on the field with you due to my injury. But I find comfort in knowing that the team is in such capable hands. Lexi, you've earned this moment, and you deserve to wear the captain's armband with pride.

Don't ever doubt yourself, Lexi. You were chosen for a reason, and that reason is your extraordinary talent and leadership on and off the field. The voting process wasn't about appeasing fans; it was about ensuring that the team and management were aligned in recognizing your incredible leadership qualities. You truly are the heart and soul of this team, our beloved USWNT baby.

Before the match, I hope you'll allow me the honor of passing on the captain's armband to you. It would mean everything to me to see you lead our team onto the field.

Keep inspiring us all, Lexi. You've got this!

With love and admiration,
Carli #USWNT #2015WorldCupFinal #CaptainLexi #CaptainCastillo #AC9 #AJC9
