These countries - Spain, France, Germany - have environments that are really geared toward the professional player.

A win's a win in a World Cup.

I love pace. I love it.

I don't have to talk about critics - I don't care.

I grew up in a military family, and my dad was gone for long periods of time. Families make it work because you know you care for each other.

You coach to coach. You don't coach to satisfy media, satisfy fans.

I truly think if I had stayed in England, I'm not sure I would be coaching. So what America gave me was kind of a dream and the opportunity and ability to follow that path, which I really had never dreamed about. I just feel very fortunate to be here.

I think that what we did in 2015 as a team was phenomenal, and I think in, now, 2019, we have similar players but a lot of different players.

If we're about winning world championships, we can't just have all of our focus be on the Olympics.

My own personal opinion is putting three finals in one day isn't supporting the women's game.

We have to get to a point in this country where our top players are seeking out the most challenging environments.

I think that's how it has to be in a tournament format. You can't dwell on games.

Why have a rule if you're not going to enforce it?

When you go through a tournament of seven games, there are peaks and valleys. You kind of ride the players that are hot.

What I know about Ali Krieger is no moment is ever going to be too big for her.

When you weigh putting a player in with 10 minutes left in a game, and they know their role on a set piece, and the moment doesn't get too big for them, those are the pieces you just - you can't buy that experience.

Many, many years ago, when you named alternates, and they wouldn't travel with you - I think you're dealing with a small roster. Now you travel with these alternates, which you can replace at any time, obviously, if it's a medical situation, so you have it in your back pocket.

Sometimes it is the mentality that is really important. To have players with self-belief makes my job a lot easier, as they are certainly motivated and hungry.

Ultimately, if you can have a very cohesive and tight unit, it obviously will pay dividends down the line.

I always want to know about things.

It's part of the beauty of the job in dealing with this is you have to have a plan, and that's why you can't only train 11 players; you train your whole team.

My dad's always had an unbelievable, positive attitude about everything.

My job is to bring in players I think can help this team, regardless of where they're playing.

My dad has a certain spirit, a twinkle in his eye, someone who can set a certain standard for players but also convey it with humor. What I learned from him is that coaching is, more than anything, about connecting with people.
