I played basketball and soccer my freshman year in high school.

I could sit there and eat pasta all day long and not worry about it when I was younger, and now I really have to focus on making sure I set a good example for my kids.

You can't just beat a team, you have to leave a lasting impression in their minds so they never want to see you again.

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.

It is more difficult to stay on top than to get there.

You may get skinned knees and elbows, but it's worth it if you score a spectacular goal.

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