Christen Press Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Christen Press:

I don't really own a lot of makeup. Usually, though, I don't leave the house without mascara. That is so essential for me. I love playing with lip color, too. I'm just really basic.

I really feel gratitude every day in my life that I'm able to do what I love, and I think, because I have that passion and spirit, I've had success.

My family is a little ridiculous. They're wild - really colorful and animated and big personalities.

Christen Press

I encourage all players to work to be their best, which includes looking for opportunities beyond the playing field.

Christen Press

I think, in the U.S., we have such a focus on the physicality, on being the best athlete, that it sort of overshadows the football aspect of it.

Christen Press

For a long time growing up, I thought that everything happens for a reason and it's kind of already written. But as I've grown and learned various things, I think that the most important moment is the one that you're in, and that's the only moment that matters, that you can really control. The future is unknown, and the past is history.

Christen Press

It took me a while to learn, but we are allowed to make mistakes and have flaws.

The tactics in NWSL are so chaotic. It's so about physicality. It's both teams attacking with nine players, and it's just so open on the transitions, really fast-paced to the point of being out of control. The Damallsvenskan is a little extreme on the other side: it's so under control, there are 20 passes strung before you even go forward.

I'm a dreamer, and I'm a perfectionist, and I love excellence, and that's hardwired in me. But when I was young, I lived in a space for a long time where I only felt insufficient.

Christen Press

Of course I have other passions and other interests, but soccer's always my priority.

Christen Press

When you've learned to love yourself, you get all the things that come with that. Friends, passion, success.

Christen Press

When I left the U.S., I sort of left that frustration and that pressure to make the national team behind me.

Christen Press

We stress out over things we can't control. So if something is a stressor, you can just simply take the power away from it by focusing on something else.

Christen Press

I think sharing your experiences with younger players is something that's hugely valuable for your team, for your program. It kind of gives me a sense of self outside of just connecting your passes, scoring your goals - it's being a part of the larger picture.

Christen Press

I always want to take on the giants.

Christen Press

As a goal scorer, my focus is always on converting my chances and being clinical in the box. That's my No. 1 priority.

Christen Press

I love to be outside.

Christen Press

When I went to Sweden, I sort of found out who I was.

Christen Press

I think I approach pressure by having discipline and learning to be calm in everyday life. I do this with a daily mindfulness practice and commitment.

Christen Press

If I put my pinkie to my thumb, I can cover my wrist all the way to the knuckle. When I get a watch, I always have to go and get extra holes put in or get a special bracelet that's adjustable.

Christen Press

I think the American sports culture has the idea that professional athletes need so much, like flying private planes, which obviously we don't, but that's the American sports culture when they think of the NFL and the NBA.

Christen Press

I remember, playing in college especially, I cried in almost every game I played. I just felt so much stress and pressure that I was letting everyone down if I didn't score a goal or win the game. I carried that weight with me into every game.

Christen Press

I gave up on the national team - I thought to myself, 'Well, that's just not something that's going to happen for me.' The national team was in residency camp; I was 6,000 miles away. Nobody was watching, nobody cared... I'm just going to go play for myself and my team and try to be great... and I had more fun than I'd have ever had.

Christen Press

While I don't know if I exist in the land of the elite, I'm definitely on the battlefield with restlessness.

Christen Press

I've always felt like my job is to protect my sister. Even growing up, on the playground, when my sister was too shy, I would speak for her... I even had dreams where I had to save her, growing up, all the time - like, she was falling, and I had to save her.

Christen Press

I'm a once-a-week grocery shopper; I get everything I need for the week, and then in the morning, I have my breakfast, pack three snacks, my lunch, and drinks to stay hydrated in a little cooler. I always have a snack on hand in case I get hungry throughout the day. I love my little cooler!

Christen Press

I'm very blessed, thankful, grateful for the opportunities I've had.

Christen Press

I've learned to love my body and myself over time by being a little more accepting and having grace with myself.

Christen Press

On game days, I do yoga as just a really short routine. It's more to warm up and to calm down in the morning.

Christen Press

I've had chronic back pain since I was a preteen - like, 12. I have really funny posture. I developed this funny posture where I hunch my back a little bit when I'm playing, and I overuse my back muscles instead of my abs. My posture has put a lot of strain on my lower back.

Christen Press

Winning and losing isn't what's important. The attempt at success and getting to your best self is what matters.

Christen Press

My mom is just authentically herself all the time. She loves herself. She loves her sense of humor. She brings people in when she talks. She brings people in when she laughs. Watching her, I think that that's when I first learned and was encouraged to be myself and to sort of love and live in that way.

Christen Press

I think my most happy and carefree state was 2012 because I really did say, 'Forget everything. I'm going to play for myself.'

Christen Press

I actually rid myself of superstitions, but I do a quick 20-minute meditation before games.

Christen Press

It's really special to play with your friends for your country.

Christen Press

We want more opportunities for women's players throughout the world.

Christen Press
