Professional footballers get up, train, play games, and that's it. They don't worry if the club gets fined. They don't investigate the intricacies of the business.
It doesn't change the way we play, I'll tell you that much. If we hit a guy and get fined, we get fined.
These are tough games to play. We shared the puck and we wanted everyone to get a chance to score. Tough games to play in. We want close games. That is why we train so hard. We want to show our fans some even games.
If you hit the table after missing a ball, you get fined. If you swear, you get fined. You can't even tweet what you're thinking without getting fined. Players can't show their personality and therefore fans can't relate to them.
I know you can be fined for throwing a club, but I want to know if you can get fined for throwing a caddie?
And I don't really like golf. I know a lot of English footballers play, but I know that if I go with the club to play, sooner or later I will end up trying to smash the ball with my foot.
For the women's team, our job is to be professional footballers for club and country and be the best role models we can be.
There is a lot of crap spoken about footballers being nomads but when you get to a club and you create a spirit, there is no doubt players want to do well for their team-mates and club.
Defense not only wins games; it's what gets you on the floor at every level you play at. Once you get to high school and get to college, if you don't play defense, you won't play.
For a young player like me, it is good to play for a club that can get to the semi-finals because one of the reasons I play football is for these big games.
Probably the thing I use most in media is video games, but I have to limit myself. If I wake up super early in the morning, and I'm not tired, I'll play video games until everybody gets up.
I was in the business school. I was on the executive board of the business school and I kinda gave all that up and forewent a full scholarship to walk on at the University of Maryland. I just wanted to challenge myself, play at the top level and see if I could hang with the big boys, kinda get that national spotlight and play in prime time games.
To be on time, to eat well like a professional, to sleep like a professional. To train and play like a professional. I encourage everyone to do this every day.
I have to bide my time, train well and still play well at club level and whenever my time comes to be more of a regular... but I'm just getting on with it. If I play, I play; if I don't, I don't, but then I will work harder to try get into the team.
If you're going to get into big time religion, these are the games you have to play. You go into it as a business and you work it as a business.
Kids want to be professional footballers and I think they need to know what it takes to get there - you know, the dedication. People see footballers playing on a Saturday afternoon in front of the TV cameras, but from a Monday to Friday people don't really see what goes on.
I'm a true professional. I don't play no acting games, and I take pride in my work and being a professional.
