Being a good teammate is when you try to sprint down a ball that everyone thinks is going out of bounds. But you go after it anyways and you get it.

It isn't sacrifice if you love what you're doing.

I've worked too hard and too long to let anything stand in the way of my goals. I will not let my teammates down and I will not let myself down.

I played soccer because my friends did. Besides we got sodas afterwards.

I'm a part of a team, and I'm no better or any worse than any single player on this team. That's the approach I've always had and will continue to have. It's not about me. It has never been all about me. If it had, this would have been a really lonely journey.

We play because we love the game, we love each other, and we love to win.

Celebrate what you've accomplished, but raise the bar a little higher each time you succeed.
