I know I wouldn't be here, and all of us wouldn't be here, without certain sacrifices and certain stands that people have made -- not just women, but men stepping up and supporting what we do and how we do it.

I'm a part of a team, and I'm no better or any worse than any single player on this team. That's the approach I've always had and will continue to have. It's not about me. It has never been all about me. If it had, this would have been a really lonely journey.

Failure happens all the time. It happens every day in practice. What makes you better is how you react to it.

Every single day I wake up and commit to myself to becoming a better player.

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.

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

A winner is that person who gets up one more time than she is knocked down.
