You have to be obsessed to reach the top.
Pure focus and dedication.
Plan B’s aren’t an option.

Most athletes get discouraged or angry after making mistakes. If they only knew how much they could improve by learning from failure. This is why you need to stay positive and take advantage of every learning opportunity that you get!

To make it in soccer you have to give up a lot.
But that doesn’t mean you don’t get to;
-> See your family
-> Follow other dreams you have
->Experience life outside of soccer
Balance is key in this game.

The best player on a team should also be the hardest worker on the team.
If you are the best player on your team, you have great influence as a leader. If you work hard and put the team first, your teammates will follow you!

As an athlete, you’re only as good as your attitude. It doesn’t matter how talented you are, if you have a terrible attitude, you won’t accomplish much in life.

Not having the best situation, but seeing the best in your situation is the key to success.

One thing you can't teach is hunger.
You can definitely help people unlock it.
But you can't MAKE them want it.
If the desire isn't there, it's because that person hasn't found their why yet.

It's not a line.
It's a measurement.
A measurement of commitment.
A measurement of sacrifice.
A measurement of respect.
A measurement of integrity.
A measurement of fortitude.
A measurement of effort.
It's a symbol to remind us that greatness lies in the smallest of details.

If you strive for excellence in every area
You'll always be better than those who don't
Failure only repeats on the people who accept it and don't take necessary action to improve

If you can't execute in practice
you won't execute on game day.
If you're not confident in practice
you won't be confident on game day.
If you're not focused in practice
you won't be focused on game day.
The habits you cultivate in practice
will show up on game day.

Discomfort leads to growth. If you want to get better, you have to be willing to be uncomfortable.
