In an interview, Thompson shared that she is inspired by her and her sister Gisele's journey in the soccer world, and it embodies faith among the masses that they can also make a career in the sport. Additionally, she also mentioned that the evolution and changes in the sport won't matter to a player if the passion is there to back them up. She said (via US Soccer.com):

"Being able to look at players like Gisele and self, and see our heritage… [it makes you believe anyone] can play and go for in the game, have goals and make a name for themselves. The game will continue to evolve and it doesn’t matter where you’re from or where you play if you’re passionate about it."

During the conversation, Alyssa Thompson said that she and her sister, Gisele, have a dream to participate together at the next quadrennial games set to be hosted in Los Angeles in 2028.
