London 2012 is all about winning a medal. Not just any medal, the gold medal.

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

I always just had a dream to spend more time with my father. But at the end of the day, my mom was the one who kept me in soccer,who kept me doing my homework, who provided me with meals on a daily basis.

As women professional athletes, you have to have respect for every player and individual. Beyond that, it doesn't matter what your interests are. People can have their own lives.

I have given my life to the game and to the sport.

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

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