I've known since I went to the national team when I was very young that I was a different bird.
I can't pretend to be enjoying this. I can't pretend I'm enjoying going out there and playing this style.
My philosophy about the game, for instance, is that you have players out there who really do different things.
But that in and of itself this past year was not a factor in what I did for the national team every time I stepped out there, or in training, or when I stepped out there in the WUSA.
I'm not saying I didn't have ample time to recover, ample time to get to my best, I felt this year I did fine. When I stepped on the field for the national team, I was ready and able to make an impact, to score goals, to create chances.
