I got to experience soccer at the highest level at a young age; I decided I wanted to be part of that for as long as possible.

Sports are not about awards or world championships, though those are great. They're about the relationships we have with each other.

Chicken, brown rice, and veggies is a great healthy dinner option. It's full of whole grains and protein, and will keep you full for a long time.

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

I could sit there and eat pasta all day long and not worry about it when I was younger, and now I really have to focus on making sure I set a good example for my kids.

After each game, I want to be able to say: I gave it all I could, I gave it my best.

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