men thinking games
I played mostly games like Asteroids and Pac-Man. Today, when I go into an arcade, the games are much more difficult and complex. I don't think I could even play some of the video games that are out there today.
talking people opinion
What I've really learned is to be open to listen to other people's opinions and then question my own thoughts. And learn how to talk to people. The biggest gift from having one of these moments is that it gets people talking.
soccer football thinking
I think there are a lot of things that soccer does in the communities that transcend the soccer field.
soccer wall school
I was the kid who always liked to take the ball down to the school even in my free time, kick it against the wall, juggle it in the front yard and so it was kind of a perpetual state of playing soccer for me.

hard-work thinking practice
You have to be willing to accept the information, you have to be willing to work hard. You have to be motivated to go to practice with an open mind. You have to be willing to be criticized. Only you can do those things.
motivational athlete kids
And then ultimately what I tell the kids is: coaches can give you information, they can give you guidelines, and they can put you in a position. But the only person who can truly make you better is you.
soccer sacrifice honest
To be honest with you, I never looked at soccer as a sacrifice.
sports fun thrill
You'll be dedicated and that's what you should want to be in anything in life - whether it's sports or academics or your relationship. It all stems from finding that fun, that thrill, that excitement.
mistake moving greatness
Never assume greatness is for someone else. Imagine every day that you too can do great things. Have the courage to take the challenge, make the mistakes, and move forward.
softball sports motivation
You're going to make mistakes in life. It's what you do after the mistakes that counts.
american-athlete heal whether
I think I'd like to be able to heal people's pain, whether it is hunger, loneliness or whatever.
american-athlete college half missed
When I got injured, I was out and it was a big deal. I missed two and a half years of college soccer, which I thought was the end of the world.
