I am happy that the young girls have a lot more choices these days and an opportunity to feel better about themselves.
If a team intimidate you physically and you let them, they've won.
There are always new, grander challenges to confront, and a true winner will embrace each one.
I learned a long time ago that there is something worse than missing the goal, and that's not pulling the trigger.
I could just have chips and salsa for dinner every day.
The person that said winning isn't everything, never won anything.
Follow your heart and make it your decision.
The team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion.
Every morning, I wake up trying to be the best mom and the best role model for my kids in a healthy diet and active lifestyle.
Every single day I wake up and commit to myself to becoming a better player.
Success breeds success.
You may get skinned knees and elbows, but it's worth it if you score a spectacular goal.
We play because we love the game, we love each other, and we love to win.
I was given a tremendous gift in terms of athleticism. Maybe it was because I wasn't so confident in other areas.
