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

I was given a tremendous gift in terms of athleticism. Maybe it was because I wasn't so confident in other areas.

I don't want to sit and look at all the trophies. I don't want to live in the past -- I want to live now!

It is more difficult to stay on top than to get there.

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.

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.

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