I don't need a captain's band to lead a team to victory.

I carry my iPod everywhere. My favorite group is the John Butler Trio, an Australian jam band. The lead singer and guitarist writes amazing lyrics.

Of course Seattle loves soccer. You can see from the men's Seattle Sounders team.

I think people have different definitions of team unity. My definition is doing whatever it takes to win, what makes a great team; it's performance on the field, respect on the field.

Female athletes are supposed to be toned down. You're always supposed to talk about the team and never stand out.

I need a life outside of soccer. So I very much welcome, you know, new love interests and dating and friends and family.
