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.

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

English muffins with avocado is one of my favorite breakfasts.

I don't like to play rough, but I will if I have to.

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.

There are always new, grander challenges to confront, and a true winner will embrace each one.

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