I learned a long time ago that there is something worse than missing the goal, and that's not pulling the trigger.

No-one gets an iron-clad guarantee of success. Certainly, factors like opportunity, luck and timing are important. But the backbone of success is usually found in old-fashioned, basic concepts like hard work, determination, good planning and perseverance.

I play for the intense challenges that the game on the highest levels present. The whole team enjoys playng exciting soccer for the fans and my part in that makes me feel good about myself. The whole concept of teamwork is what keeps us all going. It's my role to create scoring chances, and to come through for my teammates is extremely satisfying.

I will not let my teammates down and I will not let myself down.

Follow your heart and make it your decision.

The person that said winning isn't everything, never won anything.

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.
