I always map out how to get a good eight or nine hours of sleep before I even start my day. And my rule is to put my phone on silent when I go to bed; that way, no texts or emails can disturb me.
I think players need to get paid for what they're worth, for what they put up on the field.
I would like to win the Ballon d'Or for women. But every top professional should have that ambition.
I could always score goals. I loved that feeling of having your team look to you, that feeling of leadership.
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.
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.
I have experienced sexism multiple times, and I'm sure I will a lot more.
One thing I'm proud to do like a girl is represent my country in the Olympics and at the highest level, at the highest platform that I can.
I start warming up before training an hour before at the hotel. That's not because I feel old and my body needs it. It's because it's prehab. It's preventing those injuries.
I feel like you have to use the platform you're given to voice concerns and also to praise things when they need to be praised.
It's an obstacle being a girl when you move all over and don't have half the things you need. It's like everything is wrinkled in your life.
I hate being recognized; I hate it, hate it.
I've always wanted to skydive.
I feel like I'm always looking to continue improving myself. I'm always looking to win. I'm super competitive, so going into the Olympics, I feel like that's nothing different.
I feel like when there's more on the line and there's more risks, that means there's more reward.
I really try to take a step back from the soccer world and going a thousand miles an hour every day. I like to do some sort of either meditation or mental visualization or breathing exercises - something to calm my mind down because a lot of times, it's just going faster than it should.
The head-banging music gives me a headache. Katy Perry is fun, Rihanna, old-school '90s hip-hop. Salt-N-Pepa. I like listening to that. Get the nerves out before the games.
I remember every goal I've scored!
I've always wanted to become a professional soccer player.
Honestly, with stats and things like that, I try not to think about them. I just find that the more you think about goals and assists - what you need to do and accomplish - the more you tend to fall short. When you hope for something and you want something, it comes to you.
