I drink a lot of water and always try to stay hydrated.

I try to be realistic, listen to my body and know when to slow down.

I have my good and bad days, but when it's tough I just push through it.

When I'm on that field, I give it everything I have, and when I come off, I'm a mom. As tired and exhausting as it is, it's about coming back, even after double days, and still being able to enjoy the kids.

If we score, we might win. If they never score, we can't lose.

I never want to let my teammates or coaches down, so I always fight through the days when I am exhausted or experiencing discomfort with injuries and headaches.

While traveling, I love granola bars, trail mix nuts, dry cereal and fruit for on-the-go snacks. I also try and start the day with a high fiber and protein meal, such as whole-grain toast with peanut butter.
