I feel like I have big thighs. My brother was always like, 'Yeah, I want big thighs! Big thighs are awesome!' And I'm like, 'Yeah, for a man!' But I've trained since I was 6 years old to play soccer, and this is just the type of body I have.
I joke that I only play in World Cups.
I'm proud of my thighs because they've gotten me to where I am today and give me the power that I have to play my best.
Injuries give you perspective. They teach you to cherish the moments that I might have taken for granted before.
There are a few moments in every game when I will have to sprint and use my explosiveness to win.
I was clipped from behind, and my leg got caught between my opponent's legs. As we fell, my leg snapped. It was a spiral fracture. They had to put in a plate and five screws. It was a devastating moment: one minute I was on cloud nine, and then I was out for the season.
