Getting ready for the big event
I have been in many big tournaments over my soccer career and know what kind of pressure players can feel, real and perceived. The greatest advice I can give any player or coach is that the game is the same, no matter if it is a local match, a state cup, a national championship, or an Olympic Games.

Answering your questions
Q. Don't you feel that the fact that you had to compete among and with the boys, in fact turned you into the outstanding player that you became?

Picking the right soccer camp
When I was growing up, there were no "girls only" camps to choose from. So all of my opinions come from what it was like to be a girl surrounded by 250 boys, with only a few girls. I didn't know any better back then, so it didn¡¦t seem odd that there was no girls camp, but then again, I grew up playing ball in the street with all the boys in the neighborhood.

The perfect free kick & coming back from injury
I saw the movie Dare to Dream, and I was wondering what you say for a cheer. I could never understand what you guys said!!!!!!

Small victories make all the difference
Have you ever been to the park, or the gym, and there was a line to see who was next to play in the game? Me too. But it always puzzled me how big the "I got next" saying became. Instead of asking who has next, I was always interested in "who's got NOW?"
