It is more difficult to stay on top than to get there.
Success breeds success.
The vision of a champion is bent over, drenched in sweat, at the point of exhaustion, when nobody else is looking.
I am building a fire, and everyday I train, I add more fuel. At just the right moment, I light the match.
I am a member of a team, and I rely on the team, I defer to it and sacrifice for it, because the team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion.
I've worked too hard and too long to let anything stand in the way of my goals. I will not let my teammates down and I will not let myself down.
If you don't love what you do, you won't do it with much conviction or passion.
The person that said winning isn't everything, never won anything.
Take your victories, whatever they may be, cherish them, use them, but don't settle for them.
True champions aren't always the ones that win, but those with the most guts.
Failure happens all the time. It happens every day in practice. What makes you better is how you react to it.
You can't just beat a team, you have to leave a lasting impression in their minds so they never want to see you again.
There are always new, grander challenges to confront, and a true winner will embrace each one.
Follow your heart and make it your decision.
It is not sacrifice if you love what you're doing.
Chicken, brown rice, and veggies is a great healthy dinner option. It's full of whole grains and protein, and will keep you full for a long time.
Being a good teammate is when you try to sprint down a ball that everyone thinks is going out of bounds. But you go after it anyways and you get it.
You may get skinned knees and elbows, but it's worth it if you score a spectacular goal.
I hope all you young girls see yourself up there... we were just like you.
Soccer isn't very social. Plus, if you don't like someone on the other team, you can do something about it.
