The harder you work and the more prepared you are for something, you're going to be able to persevere through anything.

I kind of play like a guy. I don't hold grudges. I don't get dramatic with things. If somebody slide tackles me in training and we leave the field, I'm still talking to them. I think that there's very few of us out there that can just take confrontation, and if you've got an issue with something, you can go to that person and say it.

You can be angry and pissed off at the coach and put your head down and pout. Or you can rise above it, respect the decision, but also know that you're going to go and work that much harder and prove everybody wrong. And that's the road that I chose.

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

Work hard at everything you do. Never give up. Never quit. Many people have talents but without the hard work you won't get anywhere.

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 in between those lines, I'm in the zone. If you get between me and the ball, you might get smashed a couple times. Things happen, plays happen.
