I loved Mia Hamm, and I really looked up to Julie Foudy as well, who is one of my mentors.
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.
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.
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.
