Good players create opportunities. The great players and the great people seize them

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.

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

Every single day I wake up and commit myself to becoming a better player. Some days it happens, and some days it doesn't. Sure, there are games I'm going to dominate and there are going to be games when I struggle. But it doesn't mean I give up.

The team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion.

I am a member of a team, and I rely on the team, I defer to it and sacrifice for it, because the team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion.

I could just have chips and salsa for dinner every day.
