Athlete

I love yoga. There's a lot of stretching involved, which helps with my flexibility and injury prevention. Vinyasa is my favorite as a recovery tool and for me to continue having my legs feel good.

It's important to accept your body for what God gave you.

I'm never just on the couch. Being busy is part of who I am. But it's hard juggling my family, my husband, balancing that time.

At home, my mom and my dad shared equally in the responsibilities of the family and our home and always demonstrated the importance of men and women having an equal role.

Whenever people say 'women's soccer,' I want to correct them to say 'soccer.' Every girl has had their sport diminished because they're girls.

I find my motivation from everyone who looks up to me and my teammates. From the little girls that look up to me and tell me they want to be like me when they grow up.

When I prepare for a match, it's like work, even the way I have to shower and put on my makeup.

My favorite goals are the ones when there's so much pressure. I focus more when the game is on the line.

My workouts are mostly interval-based, so I'm never running at a constant speed. I'm always switching it up because I don't want my body getting used to one thing in particular.
