My mom is just authentically herself all the time. She loves herself. She loves her sense of humor. She brings people in when she talks. She brings people in when she laughs.

Wherever I am, I always do yoga every day. I think it's so important for my physical health in sport.

I think, in the U.S., we have such a focus on the physicality, on being the best athlete, that it sort of overshadows the football aspect of it.

The tactics in NWSL are so chaotic. It's so about physicality. It's both teams attacking with nine players, and it's just so open on the transitions, really fast-paced to the point of being out of control.

The future is unknown, and the past is history.

The European leagues have been there a long time, the coaches have been there, the clubs have been there, there's history to the teams. There's already that football support culture.

I think my most happy and carefree state was 2012 because I really did say, 'Forget everything. I'm going to play for myself.'

Stanford's an amazing, amazing school. It was an extraordinary soccer program.

When I started playing in Sweden, there was nobody watching. No one knew who I was, so I was just playing for the love of the game. And after my first season, my coach came up to me and said, 'Of all the people you're the one who smiles the most on the field,' and that was the biggest compliment I ever received.

I remember, playing in college especially, I cried in almost every game I played. I just felt so much stress and pressure that I was letting everyone down if I didn't score a goal or win the game. I carried that weight with me into every game.

As a goal scorer, my focus is always on converting my chances and being clinical in the box. That's my No. 1 priority.

I'm 100 percent a byproduct of my sport. I always tell my teammates that I only have muscles where they get to play.

I have butt muscles, thigh muscles, and then my upper body is super skinny - except for in my shoulders, which you need for a little bit of strength to hold other players off the ball. So I think I've developed muscles 100 per cent from just shooting the ball and running. Every single thing about my body looks like soccer.

When I left the U.S., I sort of left that frustration and that pressure to make the national team behind me.

I'm very blessed, thankful, grateful for the opportunities I've had.
