It took putting one foot in front of the other every single day to get through it to the point where I made it back on the team and won a gold medal in 2008.

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.

Of course Seattle loves soccer. You can see from the men's Seattle Sounders team.

When I did 'Dancing With the Stars,' everyone in Hollywood was saying I had too much muscle.

Unfortunately, people think I'm negative and bitter all the time, and that's not the case.

My father showed me so much love. He showed my brother so much love.

I know I can't dance. I am the worst dancer. I have no rhythm. I just do step-and-snap. I love it in the privacy of my own home and every once in a while at a club. But singing and dancing are my two greatest fears.
