I think it's my personality to overcome things, learn from them and become stronger, both personally and professionally. To be honest, I welcome those hardships.

I burn so many calories when I work out that I don't really count calories or necessarily try and stay away from anything.

I couldn't have been a great goalkeeper without power, agility and quickness.

I'm just going to embrace every experience.

My father was never around. But I glorified my father, and I was always daddy's little girl. He was my first soccer coach.

My father showed me so much love. He showed my brother so much love. He just, he had a rough life. You know, he grew up in a boys home in the Bronx. He didn't really know his own family. So I couldn't hold it against him that he didn't know how to parent. He didn't know how to be the perfect husband. But he loved as much as he could.

I played in Europe and it was a great experience, not just because of my team-mates and the coaches we had, but from the fans and the city itself - I played in Gothenburg and I played in Lyon and soccer was everywhere.
