My husband and I feel so welcome. |
No-one gets an iron-clad guarantee of success. Certainly, factors like opportunity, luck and timing are important. But the backbone of success is usually found in old-fashioned, basic concepts like hard work, determination, good planning and perseverance. |
Take your victories, whatever they may be, cherish them, use them, but don't settle for them. |
The person that said winning isn't everything, never won anything. |
The vision of a champion is bent over, drenched in sweat, at the point of exhaustion, when nobody else is looking. |
There are always new, grander challenges to confront, and a true winner will embrace each one. |
This is emotional, and I'm truly speechless, ... I was expecting to be a follower tomorrow night, just to go wherever I was pointed, and now I'm carrying the flag. It's a tremendous honor and I thank my fellow Olympians for thinking of me. |
This is the last time I will get to play with this group of players. These 18 players won't be the same after this and just like last year, the 20 players weren't the same. Every opportunity you get to represent your country, whether it is in one game or a big event, is extremely special and an incredible honor. This tournament is no different. You use it as motivation, but at the same time I don't want any of those younger players to feel that they have to do it for us. |
To me, one of the reasons we were so successful was that we respected and cared about the game and felt the same way about each other, ... (Teammates) always understood there was a greater purpose. That the opportunity to play was extremely special, and let's try to make sure as many young girls have that opportunity. |
True champions aren't always the ones that win, but those with the most guts. |
You can't just beat a team, you have to leave a lasting impression in their minds so they never want to see you again |
