There are no shortcuts. If you feel good, you'll look good, you'll play good. Work hard every day. No matter what your strengths and weaknesses, there's no substitute for hard work.

Every athlete acquires routines as a way to help control nerves.

I've had marriage proposals, invitations to military balls and even a few prom offers from 18-year-old boys.

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

I never felt the same passion for the game in the States and there were a lot of headaches, a lot of obstacles to overcome - it didn't just run itself for the love of the game because soccer is not the No. 1 sport as it is in Europe.

People didn't put pressure on me. I just played for the love of the game.
