What I've always valued is people.

If you ask my dad, I'm always the person that found the little bird out of the nest and is trying to put it back or take care of it.

I am a sensitive person.

It's fascinating to me how they build bridges or tunnels.

I think every time I'm with the team, even in a World Cup, as a coach, you're constantly evaluating.

It's easy for a player to stand out in two or three days. But the grind of a camp, and just the level of consistency in performance that requires, that needs to happen.

Part of what's important for me is for our players to play on the road.

The players do their thing on the pitch, and there's a lot of young women or former players that want to coach.

If we're looking at the pure development of our game, the challenge is not to have a 200-cap player because that means there is something better that is coming along.

What soccer and coaching gave me was sort of a stage.

Many people say, 'Your dad was so ahead of his time,' and he was a feminist in the truest sense, but he's very much for opportunities for all people... To him, a soccer player is a soccer player.

Any player playing at a high level is available for consideration to the women's national team.

When I first took over the team in 2014, the message was, even if you're on the right track, if you sit there, you'll get run over.

Player X might be the best outside back, but does that player help the best wide player be as good?

I can truly say this: I don't care, and I've never really read what people thought.

We need people in the game to be honest, to call things as they are.

A rule is a rule.

If someone's off their line, they're off their line.

You can do a lot of breakdown on games you played, but the takeaways from games you've played has to be on what's in front of you.

You have to pay the same amount of detail regardless of opponent when so much is on the line.

The players come out and want to be as fresh as they can, press, keep a team in their end, create chances, create set pieces, and really try and get the upper hand early.

Something you look at when you go into a World Cup is your depth and your players that change the game.

Ultimately, we've got to make sure our players understand that the margin for error is very small against these top teams in the world, and we've been punished several times for that.

I think people get hung up on starters and 11s, and that number kind of rings through a lot of media's heads.
