“Everyone makes fun of my calves. They are so big. I don't really even ...” — Ali Krieger Quote

Everyone makes fun of my calves. They are so big. I don't really even like them, I don't really want them as big as they are, but I have no choice.

I don't think there's any disappointment in my career because everything that maybe didn't go my way was a learning experience.

My dad has been my coach since I was seven years old - from 7 to 18 is when he coached my club team - and so it was always in the family. He introduced me to soccer at a young age and also kind of molded me into a good player at a young age, too. Which then I grew to love the game and be as passionate as he was.

I have to remember I am a defender first and do my job there first and foremost.

Only be an artist if you have no choice!

When you learn from the best and you are practicing how the best have practiced, you have no choice but to become a leader and be the best player out there.

The friends we have, these are choices that - unlike family, which we have no choice in, and I love my family, thank God - we've given ourselves, to some degree.

A lot of guys that were trailblazers, if we were to go back to the actual time, were just really scared and had no choice, but the water's rushing in, and you either swim or sink.

I'm comfortable in my miseries. I have no choice.
