“At home, my mom and my dad shared equally in the responsibilities of the family and our home and always demonstrated the importance of men and women having an equal role.”
“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.”
“My goal is to show girls that I'm fighting so they don't have to, so they don't have to fight the same battles, so they don't have to fight for wage equality or whatever it may be.”
“To force a change, sometimes you need to stand up. You know what you're worth - rather than what your employer is paying you.”
“As a professional soccer player, I need to get touches on the ball every day, and obviously it's a lot easier to do that with a team than to motivate yourself to do it by yourself.”
“I'm not gonna sugarcoat it: It sucks to lose sometimes.”
“I don't want to say names, but there are certain companies I won't work with because of previous people they've worked with. I don't want to be put in the same category as another athlete that I don't necessarily think is a good role model.”
“I really started to enjoy Instagram more recently because it's something that shows people what I'm doing and what I'm going through, but it's so simple. I don't have to come up with something witty; it's just a funny photo, and you can be as artistic or as plain Jane as you want.”
“What I really appreciate is the people who come up and say, 'Thank you for representing our country.'”
