Success breeds success.
Sports have become increasingly more specialized, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be fun.
I am building a fire, and everyday I train, I add more fuel. At just the right moment, I light the match.
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.
I make a lot of mistakes, too, and I'm constantly re-evaluating how I'm doing things and trying to be better every day, whether it's as a mom or taking care of myself.
I hope all you young girls see yourself up there... we were just like you.
Being a good teammate is when you try to sprint down a ball that everyone thinks is going out of bounds. But you go after it anyways and you get it.
Failure happens all the time. It happens every day in practice. What makes you better is how you react to it.
I got to experience soccer at the highest level at a young age I decided I wanted to be part of that for as long as possible.
