1. What are the three things you can never be without while traveling?

Phone, socks, mascara 

2. If you didn’t play professional soccer, what other profession would you want to try – and why?    

A sports massage therapist. I honestly think it would be cool to work for a professional or college sports team specifically for massage. It would be awesome to work with athletes and possibly still be able to travel. I am obsessed with both sports and traveling so my perfect job would have to involve those two things!   

3. What’s your perfect day off?    

My perfect day off would have to be sleeping in, for sure. Meeting a friend for lunch, getting a massage or getting a pedicure then relaxing on the couch and watching a movie.   

4. What famous person most inspires you and why?     

Easy. I would have to say my Mom. She may not be a famous lady but she definitely inspires me everyday to do my best, never give up and always laugh! There is absolutely no chance I would be where I am today without her guidance, encouragement and love.       

5. If you had a dinner party, who are the four people you would invite (can be living or dead)?    

Ellen DeGenerous, Rafael Nadal, Oprah Winfrey and my brother Kyle. 

6. If there were one adjective to describe you, what would it be?    

Spontaneous.  

7. What’s on your workout / pre-game iPod playlist?     

The question is, what isn't on my playlist? No, I'm kidding, but really, my pre-game playlist is a mix of techno, hip-hop, pop and alternative. too many songs to list...
