When I was 6 or 7, my gymnastics coach looked at my quads and told the other coach to come over and see my quads. They were big then and still are. But I've kind of embraced it through the years.

My dad has always played and coached, so that's what I knew. I played other sports but always turned toward soccer and had the same love for it as my father. They never forced me to play; I always wanted to. I was always around it.

Surround yourself with good people; surround yourself with positivity and people who are going to challenge you to make you better.

In order for me to perform the best I can out on the field, I have to fuel my body with the proper nutrients to be able to do all the running. I'm running four or five miles every game, so it's a lot. Even at halftime, I take electrolytes and have half a peanut-butter-and-jelly or whatever is sitting there just to keep my engine running.

It's a part of my lifestyle to be healthy and eat healthy. I don't feel like I need to be like, 'You can't have this. You can't have that. You have to have this. You have to have that,' because then I feel like I will get inconsistent. I indulge when I want to, but try to be healthy every single day, too.

I think my confidence came when I turned 30. I don't know, something about turning 30 has been unbelievable. I just feel a sense of freedom.

I have learned the hard way that concussions are not fun.

I have fallen a few times, and each time, I have gotten up and grown as a person and looked at things a little differently.

I wish I could score as many goals as I can in 'FIFA.'

I don't think there's any disappointment in my career because everything that maybe didn't go my way was a learning experience.

It's a privilege and an honor to play for the national team, but I think that the training that I was in at Frankfurt was the highest level right underneath.

I'm super active, so sitting on the couch and staring at the walls isn't ideal for me.

I always get made fun of by my teammates for my huge calves, but I'm like, 'they make me strong and fast!'
Ali Krieger -
Every tournament's different.

Just find things you think are fun, and then you'll be more inclined to want to go work out.

I'm the type of player that doesn't like to play on full stomach.

You never know when it's going to be your last time to step onto the field.

Our daily work ethic - that need to always do better and top our last performance - is what makes USWNT football players who we are.

Try not to completely change your diet just because you read it somewhere or someone tells you it works for them. Do what is best for your body and don't think that just because everyone else is doing it that it will work for you. Know what fuels your body to be at its best, and enjoy the little things! Indulge! Cupcakes and cookies.

I want to get good enough so I can play in Mia Hamm's golf tournament for her foundation and have an event of my own someday. I'm so competitive, I don't want to go and just pretend I'm a good golfer.

I usually have three fried eggs every morning. It always has to be three: two is just not enough, and three won't put me over edge.
