Clint Dempsey

It has always been my dream to make it as a pro. ”

You always want to score as many goals as possible, but the most important thing is if the team does well. ”

When the team plays better, individuals play better as well. ”

I've always put pressure on myself to perform well. ”

I think the more important thing for a player is to make sure that you're playing and you're playing well and playing consistently. If doesn't matter where you are. ”

I'm at peace with what I've been able to accomplish, not only domestically but abroad, and what I was able to do on the international level. ”

That's all I'm programmed for: to keep pushing and to try to make the most of my career and my life, to take care of my family. ”

When you're out there and playing, things are going fast. You've just got to trust your instincts and what got you there. ”

It's always great to be home and play in front of family and friends, especially for a big game. ”

Family comes together when you deal with hard times because it's the only way you know how to cope. ”
