I want to be involved in soccer some way.
— Brian McBride
Put your head down and work as hard as you can because there is always someone better out there.
You prepare yourself by concentrating on what you have to do out on the field.
I think competition is very important; it breeds many good things in a person.
I've been playing since I was eight years old.
It's not any one person. It's not any one coach. It's the team.
Keep enjoying it, and if you do that, then you are going to get better.
Basically I say a few prayers before a game and let that direct me, not superstitions.
It really came down to deciding between baseball and soccer. Soccer won out because I enjoyed it more.
I grew up in a great family.
My goals are for the U.S. team to get to the second round of the World Cup and to win a championship here in the U.S. with my club team the Columbus Crew.
Competition helps people figure it out.
I enjoyed being involved in team sports and making close friendships.
