It really does frustrate me when I watch MLS, and I see our best U-17 players – who, again, are so talented and so capable – being rostered… but then not being put on the field much to actually play.

I’m an imperfect person. I’ve let anger, jealousy, all the emotions, get the best of me.

I’m very focused on the things I do and have learned not to be pressured.
No matter how old we become, we can still call them ‘Holy Mother’ and ‘Father’ and put a child-like trust in them.
I would hate to be thrust into the middle of a big film and not deliver. There’s young actors and they’re put into these central roles and they’re commanding armies – but they can’t quite pull it off. I’d much rather do it in small steps and build it from there.
You are your greatest asset. Put your time, effort and money into training, grooming, and encouraging your greatest asset.
I started out really young, when I was four, five, six, writing poems, before I could play an instrument.
