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. 
Competition helps people figure it out.
Put your head down and work as hard as you can because there is always someone better out there.
You prepare yourself by concentrating on what you have to do out on the field.
It really came down to deciding between baseball and soccer. Soccer won out because I enjoyed it more.
