Heather Mitts Quotations

I love being back here in the area, ... It feels great to be able to come out here and have fun with all these kids.

We are hoping to create an interest and an awareness of soccer for kids and bring it back to the area, ... We just want to be able to help these kids and teach them the skills that they will need in the future.

We don't know how many teams, which cities it'd be. We just know they're going to have a WUSA, and that's the most exciting thing right now.

I want to do some things before I have children, because when I have children it's not going to happen. I've done bungee jumping, I've done the running with the bulls, I guess sky diving is the last thing on my list.

Women's soccer is not heavily publicized, so when you have an opportunity to be in a big magazine that publicity can be good. It definitely helpes as far as awareness about women's soccer.

Hair is really where we can be creative. I have my "game hair," which is always different than how I'd wear it at practice.

Whether I'm flying two hours or across the country, I always make sure to have a packet of almonds with me, an apple, and a Luna bar. I carry those around on a daily basis in case I'm stuck somewhere or hungry.

I eat a huge breakfast every morning - it's what I look forward to. I'll do steel-cut oatmeal with blueberries and strawberries, an egg white scramble with mushrooms, zucchini, and onion, and a piece of cinnamon Ezekiel bread with almond butter. I could do that every single day.

Running with the bulls was one of my crazier judgments in life and one of those things I decided to do spur of the moment. It was pretty hilarious.

Always double-knot your sneakers. One of my teammates once lost a shoe during a game!

Some of the players are known as scorers or assists. I guess what I am known as being is an ironwoman.

Anytime you have any opportunity to be with the national team it's an honor and a challenge, and it is something I am looking forward to.

You have to control what you can control, not the entire game, and try to play the best soccer possible and play clean and be smart and professional.
