Athletes are extremists. When they're training, it's laser focus.
From Hope Solo
I try to live my life one day at a time, and if I look too far in advance, I get really stressed.
I never felt the same passion for the game in the States and there were a lot of headaches, a lot of obstacles to overcome - it didn't just run itself for the love of the game because soccer is not the No. 1 sport as it is in Europe.
It took putting one foot in front of the other every single day to get through it to the point where I made it back on the team and won a gold medal in 2008.
I like to read books and be alone; I'm not social butterfly person. I'm sorry.
You're always going to survive the pain of loss. I can live with that confidence inside of me.

Of course Seattle loves soccer. You can see from the men's Seattle Sounders team.
On a global stage, I have respect in the goalkeeping world.
My No. 1 goal, and what I've spent my entire life striving to achieve is to win a World Cup. I want to retire so badly with that World Cup, but if I don't, then I'll retire knowing that I've done everything I could to get it.
