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

Follow your heart and make it your decision.

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.

If you've got hips, you can't be a gymnast or dancer. That ruled me out.

Many people say I'm the best women's soccer player in the world. I don't think so. And because of that, someday I just might be.

Soccer isn't very social. Plus, if you don't like someone on the other team, you can do something about it.

Somewhere behind the athlete you've become and the hours of practice and the coaches who have pushed you is a little girl who fell in love with the game and never looked back... play for her.
