I'm honest. If people aren't putting in the effort, I will definitely let them know because I think that that can only help them.

Every time I step onto the field, whether people like it or not, I'm not trying to play dirty - I'm just playing tough. And I'm trying to earn my spot on the team. I'm trying to earn a starting spot. I'm trying to become a complete midfielder who attacks, who defends. So that's the mindset.

Nothing in life is worthwhile unless it's kind of hard to get there.

I think that I'm just on such a mission with my career that you don't really get to stop and think about your jersey number too often.

The end goal is to become FIFA Women's Player of the Year.

There's no reason that young girls shouldn't feel like they can't smash people on the field. Nothing dirty. You want to keep it clean. You just want to play hard. Get your jersey dirty, shorts dirty, and just have fun out there.

You have to fight harder, dig deeper, and prove all the doubters wrongs.
