I wear my dad's cross. It's very important to me. I hang it in my locker before each game.

You're always going to survive the pain of loss. I can live with that confidence inside of me.

I live for competition. It makes my life complete.

I am proud of who I am, and nobody's going to steal that.

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

I hate the cliche of 'just have fun,' but what I've seen in today's sports, especially with parents, is they put so much pressure on the kids.

I put all of my energy into building the game and giving women opportunities and, to put everything into it and then to be deemed selfish or not a good team player or outspoken, it's been hard. But at the same time, I'm going to get the critics and I know that.
