True champions aren't always the ones that win, but those with the most guts.

Failure happens all the time. It happens every day in practice. What makes you better is how you react to it.

True champions aren't always the ones that win, but those with the most guts.

You may get skinned knees and elbows, but it's worth it if you score a spectacular goal.

I hope all you young girls see yourself up there... we were just like you.

I am building a fire, and everyday I train, I add more fuel. At just the right moment, I light the match.

It is more difficult to stay on top than to get there.

I've worked too hard and too long to let anything stand in the way of my goals. I will not let my teammates down and I will not let myself down.

The person that said winning isn't everything, never won anything.

The vision of a champion is bent over, drenched in sweat, at the point of exhaustion, when nobody else is looking.

Being a good teammate is when you try to sprint down a ball that everyone thinks is going out of bounds. But you go after it anyways and you get it.

You can't just beat a team, you have to leave a lasting impression in their minds so they never want to see you again.

I am a member of a team, and I rely on the team, I defer to it and sacrifice for it, because the team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion.

If you don't love what you do, you won't do it with much conviction or passion.

Take your victories, whatever they may be, cherish them, use them, but don't settle for them.

There are always new, grander challenges to confront, and a true winner will embrace each one.

It is not sacrifice if you love what you're doing.

Success breeds success.

Chicken, brown rice, and veggies is a great healthy dinner option. It's full of whole grains and protein, and will keep you full for a long time.

Follow your heart and make it your decision.

Golf is social. It brings a lot of people together.

I am happy that the young girls have a lot more choices these days and an opportunity to feel better about themselves.

I could just have chips and salsa for dinner every day.

I could sit there and eat pasta all day long and not worry about it when I was younger, and now I really have to focus on making sure I set a good example for my kids.

I don't like to play rough, but I will if I have to.

I love watching gymnastics, swimming, and track and field.

Soccer isn't very social. Plus, if you don't like someone on the other team, you can do something about it.

Sports have become increasingly more specialized, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be fun.

Somewhere behind the athlete you've become and the hours of practice and the coaches who have pushed you is a little girl who fell in love with the game and never looked back... play for her.

Many people say I’m the best women’s soccer player in the world. I don’t think so. And because of that, someday I just might be.

If a team wants to intimidate you physically and you let them, they've won.

The backbone of success is...hard work determination good planning and perserverence.

The most important attribute a player must have is mental toughness.

You don't just want to beat a team. You want to leave a lasting impression in their minds so they never want to see your face again.

If I examine the circumstances which inspired me to write - and this is not mere self-indulgence, but a desire for accuracy - I see clearly that the starting point of it all for me was war.

Fantastic, I am very happy to be the fastest 800 metres runner in the world.

In France they don't think I'm difficult.

I know it sounds weird, but the food that I eat, it doesn't make a big difference, and it never has. So, I've saved a ton of money not buying a lot of alcohol, not going out to restaurants too much. So, I think it's part of our culture, and it's part of a social activity more than anything else.

Emotions are messy.

Wherever and whenever I sing, if there is only one spiritual on a program, people will talk about two things afterward, and one of them will be the spiritual. What I bring to this is the best of my classical training - not all of it. I apply what is appropriate.

My mom is always with me. When I made my major-league debut I told her, 'That's it. You don't work anymore. I'm going to work and take care of you.'

I started performing music about the age of 16. I lived in Brooklyn, New York, and this thing called the Flatbush Fair comes once a year. That was my first time on stage.
