Athlete

It is more important for us to get exposed so we can learn from it and build than skate through all these tournaments and never have any issues and then feel it in the World Cup.

I expect to push my teammates as much as I can, and I expect them to do the same with me.

I prepare for every game the same.

My first memory of Umbro was when I refused to take off my orange and purple Umbro checkerboard shorts for church at five years old. I won that battle, and that drive to express myself and stay true to myself, even as a kid, is why I'm so excited about my partnership with Umbro.

My path might not be the same as everyone else's, but I had to find a way. It's not by chance. It's not by coincidence. It's because I work hard for it... and I have to continue that to be successful.

We all make decisions, and within those decisions, we have consequences.

I don't believe in luck.

I don't think life is this Instagram fairytale everyone makes it out to be. Life is super heavy.

We don't ever show up trying to plan who we play.

I need everyone else around me to be impactful in my life in some way, and I think my fans need that, too. And I choose to accept that role.

It's good to be rewarded with all the training and emotions I've gone through.

Every time I get the ball, I have to kick it as hard and as far as I can.

When we're at work, we're there to work.

I was always taught to keep things private.

When I'm training, and I'm in games, and challenges or things aren't going my way, I literally am so happy to go home to the family I'm creating.

You kind of have to hit rock bottom to really rise to the top. That's just the way I feel about it.

I think I have a really good work ethic.

I've failed a lot in my career.

It was important for me to have something to fall back on and not just rely on my athletics to get me through everything because, clearly, at any point, something could happen.

Let's just say every day I'm unapologetically, authentically me.
