unforeseen, even to myself. You know when I tell people to take the most perfect moment either from your work or your family or out on the playing field, whatever it is and then grow it by about a million, just try to imagine what your emotion would be at that moment. That’s what it was like. The sites, the sounds, the smells, everything was intensified exponen- tially. It felt so good and so incredible. It was amazing. •••
How much did your life change after that moment? Laughs. It changed completely, from not sleeping for weeks on end just due to going here, there and everywhere. The ability to participate in things like pro-ams and be invited
to places I’d never been before. People who didn’t know anything about wom- en’s soccer were saying, “Gosh, that was a great game!” So it was life altering in every single possible way. •••
So many people know you from that iconic image, how does that feel more than 10 years later? People always ask if I get tired of talking about that. Often times people want to talk about it because they themselves had a mo- ment. “I was here,” or “this is what I saw” and “this is great” and that’s really awesome for me. But it also leads me back into talking about women’s soccer. Since women’s soccer has lived in ano- nymity for so long, it’s awesome that people want to talk about it.
Are you happy with the progress women’s sports have made in that time frame? I think I’m happy that there’s a spotlight put on the female athlete that maybe wasn’t the same before. But has anything really changed in terms of professionalism and opportunity? I just watched the NBA Finals—we’re so far away from that, which is disappointing for me. Women work just as hard and are just as committed, if not more, and they hardly make any money. There seems to be a disconnect about them becoming professionals. •••
What’s one word to describe yourself. Enthusiastic.
