Take your victories, whatever they may be, cherish them, use them, but don’t settle for them.

You may get skinned knees and elbows, but it’s worth it if you score a spectacular goal.

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.

English muffins with avocado is one of my favorite breakfasts.

Success breeds success.

It is more difficult to stay on top than to get there.

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.

Golf is social. It brings a lot of people together.

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.

I could just have chips and salsa for dinner every day.

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 learned a long time ago that there is something worse than missing the goal, and that’s not pulling the trigger.

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.

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

I am building a fire, and everyday I train, I add more fuel. At just the right moment, I light the match.

You don’t just want to beat a team. You want to leave a lasting impression in their minds so they never want to see your face again.

It is not sacrifice if you love what you’re doing.

Chicken, brown rice, and veggies is a great healthy dinner option. It’s full of whole grains and protein, and will keep you full for a long time.

Follow your heart and make it your decision.

If a team intimidate you physically and you let them, they’ve won.

I could sit there and eat pasta all day long and not worry about it when I was younger, and now I really have to focus on making sure I set a good example for...

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

The vision of a champion is bent over, drenched in sweat, at the point of exhaustion, when nobody else is looking.

Soccer isn’t very social. Plus, if you don’t like someone on the other team, you can do something about it.

I hope all you young girls see yourself up there… we were just like you.

Failure happens all the time. It happens every day in practice. What makes you better is how you react to it.

If you don’t love what you do, you won’t do it with much conviction or passion.

I love watching gymnastics, swimming, and track and field.

I am happy that the young girls have a lot more choices these days and an opportunity to feel better about themselves.

The person that said winning isn’t everything, never won anything.

Sports have become increasingly more specialized, but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be fun.

True champions aren’t always the ones that win, but those with the most guts.

I don’t like to play rough, but I will if I have to.

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.

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.

There are always new, grander challenges to confront, and a true winner will embrace each one.

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.

It isn’t sacrifice if you love what you’re doing.

As a mother I think you often get so caught up in trying to take care of everyone else that you forget to take care of yourself. But I’m a much better wife and mother...
