I think competition is very important; it breeds many good things in a person.

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.

You prepare yourself by concentrating on what you have to do out on the field.

Competition helps people figure it out.

Basically I say a few prayers before a game and let that direct me, not superstitions.

Put your head down and work as hard as you can because there is always someone better out there.

Keep enjoying it, and if you do that, then you are going to get better.

Soccer has never really run my life.

I enjoy analyzing the game and solve problems and get that across to my teammates.
