“I knew that, to be the best right-back in the world, I had to improve ...” — Alex Scott Quote

“I knew that, to be the best right-back in the world, I had to improve my fitness so I could run up and down constantly for 90 minutes.”

“I was an attacking full-back but was told by Hope Powell to just sit back when we played U.S.A. in the 2007 World Cup. It's hard to rein yourself in, but the team comes first.”

“My hardest lesson has been my most fruitful, too: that when people don't believe in me, I can prove them wrong.”

“Fitness is not about being better than someone else... It's about being better than you used to be.”

“I decided to write 'True Refuge' during a major dive in my own health. Diagnosed with a genetic disease that affected my mobility, I faced tremendous fear and grief about losing the fitness and physical freedom I loved.”

“I see a fitness coach three times a week and I do a lot of boxing, a bit of running when my knees let me, circuit training, fit ball, anything that will keep my heart going and stop me getting even fatter.”
