Learn to differentiate between what is truly important and what can be dealt with at another time.

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.

I played basketball and soccer my freshman year in high school.

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

The backbone of success is...hard work, determination, good planning, and perserverence.

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.

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.
