Sports can do so much. They've given me a framework: meeting new people, confidence, self-esteem, discipline, motivation. All these things I learned, whether I knew I was learning them or not, through sports.

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

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

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

I am building a fire, and everyday I train, I add more fuel. At just the right moment, I light the match.

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

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