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

I am happy that the young girls have a lot more choices these days and an opportunity to feel better about themselves.

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

Every morning, I wake up trying to be the best mom and the best role model for my kids in a healthy diet and active lifestyle.

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.

I'm not someone who goes around the locker room before a game trying to motivate my teammates. I don't say a lot before the game. I don't say a lot in general. It takes too much energy to do that.

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.
