So having that pressure of wanting to win and wanting to play your best, in front of your country and wanting to win, like that\u2019s kind of the biggest thing. I think kind of coming together and blocking out that noise and controlling what you can control is really important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alyssa played forward and winger in the 2023 FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup for Team USA. Prior to that, the Chelsea FC star played in the 2022 FIFA U-20 Women\u2019s World Cup in Costa Rica.<\/p>\n<p>The younger Thompson sister, who plays as a defender for Angel City FC, played on the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women\u2019s World Cup team in Colombia and was a key component to helping lead them advance to the knockout stage.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Sisters Aim for 2027 Women\u2019s World Cup<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Both siblings have a strong case to make the 2027 FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup team.<\/p>\n<p>While neither sister got to play their tournament games on American soil, they know what it\u2019s like to play at home in Los Angeles and how important that advantage is for the men.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think having your fans there to support you and your country kind of standing behind you gives you more motivation to want to work harder and want to win for your country,\u201d says Gisele. \u201cI think even when the other team turns over the ball, just hearing the crowd cheer louder for you, kind of pumps me up. I know everyone else gets more motivation to want to work harder and win. So, I think it\u2019s definitely an advantage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Gisele, that crowd energy doesn\u2019t just fuel performance\u2014it also helps reframe the pressure that comes with the moment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving the fans behind you, and I know that people will probably feel the pressure, but it\u2019s more about just feeling the pride and the passion from the fans,\u201d adds Gisele. \u201cAnd that\u2019s kind of how you can block out that pressure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although the tournament stakes are high, both sisters admit they didn\u2019t train any differently but tried to focus on creating similarities for their respective tournaments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel like something that definitely helped was training in the environments that we were going to play in and kind of getting used to what that was going to look like,\u201d Gisele says. \u201cEspecially, heat or elevation, just getting used to those areas. And just like playing in front of big crowds for the first time was something that I think a lot of us haven\u2019t experienced before. I think for a lot of us, since it was our first time doing it together was really important, but I think the overall experience was really fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel like training with Angel City, I was just trying my best to get better, like 1% better every day,\u201d adds Alyssa. \u201cI don\u2019t think I changed too much leading up to the World Cup just because I think it was really up in the air for me. I was still a first-year pro and still learning a lot about what it meant to play at this level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/The-Thompson-sisters-Alyssa-Gisele-Thompson-players-at-the-Womens-Fifa-Soccer-Team.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"The Thompson sisters Alyssa &amp; Gisele Thompson players at the Women's Fifa Soccer Team\" width=\"1024\" height=\"567\"\/><\/p>\n<h3>Learning to Chill Out Before Kickoff<\/h3>\n<p>To calm their emotions, the sisters rely on self talk while finding the right thing to listen to before gametime.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, I feel like I listen to calm music before I play,\u201d says Alyssa. \u201cI don\u2019t really like to get amped up too much before I play because then I get stressed and I feel like my body feels like I already played a game before I go on the field. So I try to calm down with music and also just like, my thoughts. Reminding myself of my preparation, and just being confident in my abilities and what I bring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Like Alyssa, Gisele leans on a pregame routine built around music and visualization to settle her nerves and lock in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel like I get really nervous before games, so just putting on music and kind of staying in my own space I feel like really helps me,\u201d adds Gisele. \u201cKind of picturing the game and the things that I want to do well on the field and just kind of the first simple pass and my first touches, I think I really focus on. That\u2019s my kind of before game routine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The tournament can go on for weeks, so the sisters recommend resting and refueling when possible is crucial for the team to peak at the right time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s very different each time because of what time the game is,\u201d says Alyssa. \u201cIf I\u2019m having a late game, I have a routine of when I eat, especially having big meals in the morning, and then I\u2019ll have smaller meals throughout the day. But if it\u2019s an earlier game, I\u2019ll probably just have one big meal and then just some snacks. I like to take naps before because I don\u2019t want to be tired before my game. Or when I get into the game and kind of resting my mind, and I feel I overthink a lot about the game, so kind of just resetting my brain and calming myself down in those moments when I can. And, kind of sometimes distracting myself\u2013 watching a show or listening to music I find helps me kind of calm myself down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gisele echoes that game-day rhythm, leaning on both smart fueling and strategic naps to make sure she\u2019s at her peak.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFueling is really important to help peak during the game,\u201d adds Gisele. Also, sometimes I take naps, to make me feel energized. I think it\u2019s mostly just like what you eat throughout the day to make sure when it comes game time, you feel your best and have enough energy to sustain throughout the game.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>How to Move On from World Cup Disappointment<\/h3>\n<p>While the USWNT was eliminated in the round of 16 in 2023, Alyssa still has fond memories of what it was like to walk on to such a large stage in her career.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHonestly, I was in awe during that moment,\u201d admits Alyssa. \u201cI was pretty young and I couldn\u2019t believe that I was at the World Cup. It was really cool, and I probably should think about it more, but I don\u2019t because it feels like such a long time ago and that tournament obviously didn\u2019t go as we wanted, so I kind of tried to honestly erase it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Looking back now, Alyssa says that experience reshaped how she processes both disappointment and growth on the big stage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think as players, we learn a lot to forget the things that don\u2019t serve us and kind of have a short-term memory because we can never get too high or never get too low on things,\u201d she continues. I think it\u2019s something that is a learning lesson for our team, but also something that we don\u2019t need to harp on going into the next tournament.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the men\u2019s finals being held at Met Life Stadium later in July, the Thompson\u2019s are hoping to make some fans\u2019 dreams a reality with tickets to the game alongside soccer legend David Beckham. Verizon users should be prepared to head to their apps and register for sweepstakes\u2019 like this and more on Mondays all summer long.\u00a0 Interacting with the fans has become more than just the game for this partnership as the conversation quickly turned from winning tickets to more personal inquiries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was super fun just talking to a bunch of people who were so passionate about soccer and I think even gifting them the tickets, I think they were so interested in our story as well,\u201d says Gisele who handed out thousands of golden tickets before the World Cup with Verizon. I keep saying this one story like, I told them, \u2018Oh, you\u2019re winning FIFA World Cup tickets,\u2019 and then they were like, \u2018Can I ask you one more question?\u2019 They really didn\u2019t care. They kind of wanted to know more about my story, which I thought was really cool, but seeing how much they care and how excited they were was something that we\u2019ll never forget.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Both ladies admit they have their sights on making a go at the next FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup, but for now, they\u2019re cheering on the men with all they\u2019ve got.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re going to make us proud no matter what the result is,\u201d says Alyssa. \u201cJust win your battles, work hard and put everything into it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Building off that, her sister keeps the focus on belief in the work they\u2019ve already done.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would say trust your preparation,\u201d adds Gisele. \u201cThey\u2019ve been preparing for this tournament for a while, so just knowing that you\u2019ve done everything that you can to get to the point where you are, and now, it\u2019s just go time.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/muscle-fitness-hers\/hers-athletes-celebrities\/us-soccer-sisters-alyssa-gisele-thompson-open-up-about-pressures-of-performing-on-big-soccer-stage\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sisters Alyssa and Gisele Thompson know first-hand about the pressures of playing on the World Cup stage, so they empathize with what the U.S. men\u2019s team is feeling as they take the field on American soil, advancing to the Round of 32. \u201cI think when you think about pressure, not letting it affect you because [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":236,"featured_media":23327,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23326","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>\u00a0US Soccer Sisters Alyssa &amp;
