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.

When players go out and train on their own, they usually do it at half speed. This kind of training is valuable, but it doesn't prepare you for competition, where you must perform at full throttle. So the trick is to schedule regular sessions of intense practice, while always leaving time to juggle and generally goof around with the ball

Every day I look for ways to be inspired, to learn and to grow. And trying to be the best for my kids, my husband and my family. One thing I really wanna do is being there for my kids, be part of my siblings and my parents.

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

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

My coach said I ran like a girl, I said if he could run a little faster he could too

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