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

In truth, 2007 was the hardest year of my life. I lost my best friend. I lost my father.

I have no personal beef with Brandi Chastain. There's nothing personal.

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.

There are so many different walks of life, so many different personalities in the world. And no longer do you have to be a chameleon and try and adapt to that environment - you can truly be yourself.

I am going to be a professional soccer player.

I'm just going to embrace every experience.
