I've been playing since I was eight years old.
I think competition is very important; it breeds many good things in a person.
It really came down to deciding between baseball and soccer. Soccer won out because I enjoyed it more.
You prepare yourself by concentrating on what you have to do out on the field.
I want to be involved in soccer some way.
It's not any one person. It's not any one coach. It's the team.
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.
