Overseas, kids grow up in a soccer culture. The German player sees the game eons above the American player the same age.

The smartest thing is knowing that I don't know it all and that there's more to learn.

I don't know how smart I am, but I was a student of the game and I still watch games and still pick up things. If you watch individual players you will see genius.

Don't whine. Find the positive in difficult situations.

Have a vision and then create your own reality. Otherwise, someone else may create it for you.

To some, challenges are exhausting. To others, they are opportunities in waiting.

When you set a goal, write it down and then it's like making a promise to yourself.
