Goals have never defined me as a player. What has defined me is my impact on the team. If that means passing or playing defense to win, I'll do it.

Take your victories, whatever they may be, cherish them, use them, but don't settle for them.

I hope all you young girls see yourself up there... we were just like you.

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

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

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.

Sport taught me how to goal set, it really gave me a voice and identity.
