I am a kid from the '70s, when video games first started coming out, so I definitely have to say I am a video game junkie to this day. ”

This is something that's very special; people saying they watch me play who are now turning professional. ”

The people I still talk to are some of the old Galaxy players all over the place. That's a bond that's pretty special. ”

We didn't think we were a fourth-place team. For us to beat the first-place team in the West and the first-place team in the East shows the dedication and determination that we had. ”

I turned 24 in the middle of my first World Cup and it was quite an unbelievable experience. It's really hard for words to do it justice. ”

I know a lot of people didn't understand why I came back, and people are still going to say it was stupid and it was the wrong decision. But I'm happy. ”

I never thought I'd play soccer past high school, so to go from that team to actually being most-capped and three World Cups is pretty special. ”

Traveling is not a hindrance for me; it's something I actually enjoy. ”

After I suffered a labral tear in my hip while playing soccer, I realized that many sports-related injuries can be prevented and I dedicated myself to helping young athletes learn more about injury prevention. ”

You know what you are getting into, but being out in that heat for two weeks definitely drains your energy. ”
