Clint Dempsey

I've always pushed myself hard. ”

Whatever position allows me to get touches in the attacking third, that's the position I like the most. ”

Just being in Europe was a grind. ”

I like being able to look in the mirror and seeing a smile on my face. ”

I always kind of struggled a little bit with being captain sometimes, because sometimes you feel like you have to be someone that you're not. ”

I'd rather be someone that's underrated than overrated. ”

I played three seasons when I was in MLS before I went to Europe, and every year, I was able to be selected for the All-Star, which was an honor. ”

There's no extra significance on beating a certain player. It's kind of like golf. You're just out there playing, and whatever ends up happening ends up happening. ”

For a number of years, I struggled and put distance between God and me. But He was faithful and patient and provided gradual healing and strength. ”

In college, I joined a team Bible study. God's Word brought me peace and a desire for a relationship with Him. ”
