I think soccer is more respected now than it ever has been. You can see that in the numbers of young kids who are playing and the numbers of people who are coming to watch.

I think Id like to be able to heal peoples pain, whether it is hunger, loneliness or whatever.

I was a part of Backyard Soccer, and I hear that I score a lot of goals in it.

We are shaping young kids to be leaders in their communities and also to be healthier.

I love soccer; I want to be on the field.

And I remember how proud I was to put on my training jersey and go out on the field. Making it back to that environment was for me my greatest moment, because somebody had told me I couldn't do it and I never gave up on myself, the game and my teammates.
