Success breeds success. |
"If you don't love what you do, you won't do it with much conviction or passion." |
"You may get skinned knees and elbows, but it's worth it if you score a spectacular goal."

“Many people say I’m the best women’s soccer player in the world. I don’t think so. And because of that, someday I just might be." |
Failure happens all the time. It happens every day in practice. What makes you better is how you react to it. |
Go for the Goal |
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. |
I am building a fire, and everyday I train, I add more fuel. At just the right moment, I light the match. |
I hope all you young girls see yourself up there, ... We were just like you. |
I was this shy, introverted kid and through the game and through athletics I was able to gain a lot more confidence and express myself on the field. It is about enjoying themselves and that's what I could tell about all of these girls. They played hard, respected the game and just had fun doing it. |
I've enjoyed every minute of it and to be able to do it as long as I've had, I've had a lot of support from my family. The game has yet to see so much more growth. |
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. |
If you don't love what you do, you won't do it with much conviction or passion. |
It is more difficult to stay on top than to get there. |
It is not sacrifice if you love what you're doing. |
