“Every team I'm on, I expect to win.”

“We all make decisions, and within those decisions, we have consequences.”

“I've done a lot of great things playing for this country and this national team in the youth stage.”

“What I love so much about being a part of Umbro and the partnership is they authentically let me be me.”

“It was important for me to have something to fall back on and not just rely on my athletics to get me through everything because, clearly, at any point, something could happen.”

“I just have to wake up every day and be content with the decisions I make.”

“I expect to push my teammates as much as I can, and I expect them to do the same with me.”

“I prepare for every game the same.”

“I'm not a blender. I don't like people who blend into society.”

“You don't score, you don't win games.”

“There have been women who have pioneered and paved the way for me to be able to sit here and to have a platform. And it's my job and my duty to continue to push the boundary for equality on all spectrums.”

“My path might not be the same as everyone else's, but I had to find a way. It's not by chance. It's not by coincidence. It's because I work hard for it... and I have to continue that to be successful.”

“We don't ever show up trying to plan who we play.”

“It's hard being on the best team in the world.”

“When I'm training, and I'm in games, and challenges or things aren't going my way, I literally am so happy to go home to the family I'm creating.”

“How many times do you get to play in Portland in front of how many thousands of people? That's the kind of environment we want to be in.”

“I went to college in North Carolina, so something about being in the East Coast is home for me.”

“Just because I give you a piece of me doesn't mean you get it all. There's very few people in my life who get it all, and that's sacred to me.”

“I have to show up and do my job every day; that's my focus.”
