Be the best teammate you can be, be the best player you can be, and just be as supportive and encouraging for the people who are playing.
If you have people invested emotionally in the success of their team, that usually translates to strong attendance.
It's not easy not getting playing time, but you have to keep showing up and working your tail off to be ready.
Your No. 1 priority as a defender is to keep the ball out of the back of the net.
I drink coffee every day, either espresso or cortado, which is two shots espresso and steamed milk.
The summer before my senior year of college, I would surf every single morning, and I got better and loved it. For me, it is nice to get away from the soccer field and have these other things to clear your mind. You don't have to be good at it; you just do it and enjoy it. It is nice to have that balance, and I need that balance in my life.
I love how I look. My favorite body part is my butt because that's where we get all our power from, and that's what keeps me going up and down the field and drives my explosiveness. I kind of have a bubble butt, but it helps me do what I need to do!
Soccer fans spend almost as much time outdoors as we do! Whether you're heading out onto the field for practice or cheering from the sidelines, throw a broad spectrum sunscreen into your bag to help protect your skin from the sun.
It's fun to be able to dress up from time to time and pretend that I don't wear cleats, a T-shirt, and shorts every day.
I could wear a dress one day and boyfriend jeans the next. I usually just want to make sure I'm comfortable.
When I go into games as a forward, my job is really clear, and I just have to execute. But as a midfielder, you get to sort of enjoy the game more, and you get to feel the game and dictate the play.
It's fun scoring goals, but I also like to stop them.
Nothing can replace sleep, but coffee can do it best. I love coffee.
When I was in middle school and even high school, I wasn't comfortable with my body. I look back, and it makes me sad, but I've grown into my body and really embrace it. I don't have the typical girl body; I'm kind of built like a boy.
If you have a goal and you set your mind to it, you can absolutely achieve it.
I'm from Georgia and grew up eating Chick-fil-A. I'm obsessed with all forms of fried chicken, like chicken briskets and chicken sandwiches.
No excuses. Play like a champion.
Got to go to the ESPYs, which was so cool.
I actually don't wear any makeup when I'm on the field. I like looking nice, but my main concern is how I play - to me, if you look and feel good, then you play good. On the field, I only wear Coppertone Sport SPF 30. I like it because it feels like I'm putting on lotion rather than SPF.
I love to get out there and sweat and mix things up, whether I'm on the field or in the gym.
