After I suffered a labral tear in my hip while playing soccer, I realized that many sports-related injuries can be prevented and I dedicated myself to helping young athletes learn more about injury prevention.

That's one of my jobs, just trying to do what I can to help this team out as much as possible.

You are going to have hostile crowds and the fans are going to find out where you are staying and keep you awake at night. They are going to use everything possible.

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

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.

You want to teach the next generation so they can learn a little bit faster and a little bit more so everything becomes that much better.

This is something that's very special; people saying they watch me play who are now turning professional.
