Every Athlete Acquires Routines As

I Never Felt The Same Passion For The Game In The States And There Were A Lot Of Headaches, A Lot Of Obstacles To Overcome - It Didn't Just Run Itself For The Love Of The Game Because Soccer Is Not The No. 1 Sport As It Is In Europe.

With Each Year That's Gone By, And As I Grow Up And Get Older, I've Become More Mature, Of Course, But You Have A Sense Of Who You Are, And You Find Confidence In That.

I Played In Europe And It Was A Great Experience, Not Just Because Of My Team-mates And The Coaches We Had, But From The Fans And The City Itself - I Played In Gothenburg And I Played In Lyon And Soccer Was Everywhere.

I Travel A Lot And Rarely Make It Home To Seattle.
