If that`s not the case, I have my degree in secondary education so who knows what is going to be ahead for me, but I hope it is in soccer somehow.
I`ve been playing since I was eight years old.
Competition helps people figure it out.
I enjoyed being involved in team sports and making close friendships.
My goals are for the U.S. team to get to the second round of the World Cup and to win a championship here in the U.S. with my club team the Columbus Crew.
I grew up in a great family.
Too many times as a team, we get caught out in one on one positions, and you are going to hurt sometimes doing that and we have this year.
You prepare yourself by concentrating on what you have to do out on the field.
Keep enjoying it, and if you do that, then you are going to get better.
Put your head down and work as hard as you can because there is always someone better out there.
I want to be involved in soccer some way.
I think competition is very important; it breeds many good things in a person.
Basically I say a few prayers before a game and let that direct me, not superstitions.
It`s not any one person. It`s not any one coach. It`s the team.
It really came down to deciding between baseball and soccer. Soccer won out because I enjoyed it more.
