Growing up in the hot Last Vegas desert, all I wanted was to be free. I would daydream about traveling the world, living in a place where it snowed, and I would picture all of the stories that I would go on to tell.

You don't always have to have the most amazing story. It's learning to share the story you have that counts.

I'm learning how strong I am, how resilient I am. I'm learning my weaknesses.

Dancers know how to move their arms and their hands. But I don't know the first thing about how to move my arms and hands gracefully.

I was a big kid and a big athlete, but let's be honest: I don't know diddly about football.

I am a happy person, especially off the field, outside of football.

I'm in a sport where people don't look at us like women: they don't look at us like being girls or feminine. But I've been girly all my life, and so I couldn't separate... between the sport and being a woman.

My ultimate dream is just to become world champion, and not only once. So that's my dream, and it doesn't matter with which team it is.
