Many people say I'm the best women's soccer player in the world. I don't think so. And because of that, someday I just might be.
I am building a fire, and everyday I train, I add more fuel. At just the right moment, I light the match.
I got to experience soccer at the highest level at a young age I decided I wanted to be part of that for as long as possible.
Success breeds success.
Failure happens all the time. It happens every day in practice. What makes you better is how you react to it.
I've worked too hard and too long to let anything stand in the way of my goals. I will not let my teammates down and I will not let myself down.
I make a lot of mistakes, too, and I'm constantly re-evaluating how I'm doing things and trying to be better every day, whether it's as a mom or taking care of myself.
Sports have become increasingly more specialized, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be fun.
It isn't sacrifice if you love what you're doing.
I hope all you young girls see yourself up there... we were just like you.
The backbone of success is...hard work, determination, good planning, and perserverence.
Being a good teammate is when you try to sprint down a ball that everyone thinks is going out of bounds. But you go after it anyways and you get it.
If a team intimidate you physically and you let them, they've won.
You don't just want to beat a team. You want to leave a lasting impression in their minds so they never want to see your face again.
Take your victories, whatever they may be, cherish them, use them, but don't settle for them.
