I don't just want to focus on soccer, soccer, soccer. You're going to look back 20 years from now and of course you're going to remember the games. But I'm going to remember seeing my family in the stands.

My life goes in four-year cycles. The World Cup is every four years and the Olympics are every four years.

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

I like to read books and be alone; I'm not social butterfly person.

I've learned that winning isn't everything, and it's more about the journey. But at the end of the day, I just want to stand on the podium with the gold medal.

One thing I've learned in life is that I can speak for myself, that I can fight my own battles. I don't like anyone telling me how I'm supposed to feel or think or what I'm supposed to say.

It's clear that women athletics are pretty far behind in every way. In terms of facilities, how much we make, everything.
