Inspirations
In life, there is no such thing as impossible; it's always possible.
The game is never over. No matter what the scoreboard reads or what the referee says, it doesn't end when you come off the court.
As an athlete, success is not just about winning; it is about working hard and giving it all you have. I have always taken one match at a time and worked hard; when I succeeded, I worked further on the aspects of the game which worked for me; when I failed, I listed out my weaknesses and worked on them.
Whenever people say 'women's soccer,' I want to correct them to say 'soccer.' Every girl has had their sport diminished because they're girls.
You have to believe in the long term plan you have, but you need the short term goals to motivate and inspire you.
I wouldn't say anything is impossible. I think that everything is possible as long as you put your mind to it and put the work and time into it.
I don't focus on what I'm up against. I focus on my goals and I try to ignore the rest.
Self-confidence has always been one of my good qualities. I am always very confident. It is in my nature to be confident, to be aggressive. And it applies in my batting as well as wicketkeeping.
A fit body gives you confidence. And there's nothing more impressive than a great attitude, which you can wear on your sleeve. But you'll have to remember the difference between being rude and being confident.
You learn a lot more when you're going through a rough period compared to the good times when everything goes your way.
I believe every era has its significance and the same holds true for players and coaches.
I want young girls to dream about being professional soccer players instead of just watching the boys go out and play.
You can't say what the outcome of a competition is going to be, so now I am ready to accept any result that comes my way, if I give my best shot.
Irrespective of whether you have talent or not, one has to work hard. Just being talented doesn't mean anything; you can end up wasting it before you realize.
I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
