You're going to make mistakes in life. It's what you do after the mistakes that counts.

To be honest with you, I never looked at soccer as a sacrifice.

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

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

Well there are two things: Number one is, make sure you always enjoy yourself, because when you enjoy yourself, you'll learn, you'll want more information, you'll push yourself.

What I've really learned is to be open to listen to other people's opinions and then question my own thoughts. And learn how to talk to people. The biggest gift from having one of these moments is that it gets people talking.

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.
