I've been working on my finishing for quite some time. It's just a question of paying attention to the minor details.

I don't know if my hairstyles reflect that, but I am someone who enjoys change.

As a player, I was fortunate to work with coaching and medical staffs that underscored the importance of utilizing injury prevention exercises, which contributed to my healthy and long playing career.

I've been through the process qualifying for the World Cup, which is an amazing, two-year process. It was an honor to represent the U.S. and to represent the city of Los Angeles and California.

Traveling is not a hindrance for me; it's something I actually enjoy.

I am excited to bring my deep knowledge, passion and expertise of soccer in this country to The New York Cosmos. They truly represent where this sport is headed on a national and international level, and I want to make history with them.

The people I still talk to are some of the old Galaxy players all over the place. That's a bond that's pretty special.
