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. |
There are always new, grander challenges to confront, and a true winner will embrace each one. |
Take your victories, whatever they may be, cherish them, use them, but don't settle for them. |
The vision of a champion is bent over, drenched in sweat, at the point of exhaustion, when nobody else is looking. |
You may get skinned knees and elbows, but it's worth it if you score a spectacular goal. |
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. |
If you don't love what you do, you won't do it with much conviction or passion. |
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 building a fire, and everyday I train, I add more fuel. At just the right moment, I light the match. |
It is not sacrifice if you love what you're doing. |
Failure happens all the time. It happens every day in practice. What makes you better is how you react to it. |
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. |
True champions aren't always the ones that win, but those with the most guts. |
It is more difficult to stay on top than to get there. |
Success breeds success. |
I hope all you young girls see yourself up there... we were just like you. |
