I used to apply waterproof mascara before a game - it was the easiest thing to wear while I was playing that wouldn't sweat off - but not anymore.
I would say I eat pretty clean for the most part. Everything in moderation. I don't deny myself.
For me, it's really important to take care of my skin. Especially because when I see someone, and they're just so fresh and beautiful, you always notice their skin first. So having a really good skin-care regimen is a must. I just wish I would have started taking care of my skin earlier!
This is the whole reason you play: to win your country a World Cup!
I don't tend to wear a lot of makeup in general.
As a sub, you just want to help your team in whatever way you can.
I think soccer in America is growing exponentially, and it's just going to keep getting bigger.
I'm lenient when it comes to nutrition rules. I enjoy cooking and baking in general, and I just try to eat whole, clean foods. I try to stay away from processed or boxed stuff - but that's not to say I don't eat that from time to time. I really like making Asian noodle salad and also make soup a lot, like tortilla soup.
Soccer is a cruel sport sometimes.
I have a ton of broken baby hairs in front. It just comes with the territory of being a soccer player.
I don't like feeling full when I start a game, so that's why I have a bigger meal in morning or four hours before game.
I think I was just a very competitive child.
Inspiring people to look at their goals and go for that and believe in themselves is amazing.
For me it's just about that self-confidence and finding what you love and just chasing after it with reckless abandon and never letting anyone tell you that you can't do something.
I'm down for anything.
Life is awesome as a college athlete, and then it's a total cliff to jump off.
What you do on the field can only be a positive if you take care of what you need to off the field, and that means recovery and refueling.
I first started drinking chocolate milk to refuel in college when one of my assistant coaches said there were studies that proved that lowfat chocolate milk was great for recovery, so after practice, we would get out two big gallons and drink it together as a team.
I remember watching the '96 Olympics. For some reason, I was like 'Oh yeah, I'm going to go to the Olympics some day.' At that time as a kid, I did not know for what sport or really anything.
Surfing was something I always wanted to do.
