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

Success breeds success.

I don't like to stop. I'm a big person who looks at where the hubs are because I hate changing planes.

If you don't love what you do, you won't do it with much conviction or passion.

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.

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

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.
