Surround yourself with good people; surround yourself with positivity and people who are going to challenge you to make you better. Ali Krieger Read Quote
Personally, I always try to focus on the little things in my game. As a defender and attacking outside back, I continuously work on completing passes, not being too predictable going forward into the attack, good services into the box, good positioning and footwork. Ali Krieger Read Quote
I know, firsthand, that soccer brings people together – all it takes is a ball and a few people, and the seeds of friendship are planted. Ali Krieger Read Quote

People ask me, ‘What were you thinking during that game-winning penalty kick in the 2011 World Cup?’ I was actually thinking absolutely nothing. I just walked up there and was so inspired by my teammates who rocked all their PKs; they just killed it. I figured I might as well do the same, or they might have my neck. Ali Krieger Read Quote
If you just kind of let yourself stay alone and be by yourself, the negative, it is just not going to help you. Ali Krieger Read Quote
If the spaces open up in the attack, then of course I’m willing to take it because I love to get involved; I love to get crosses in. I love to do combinations and just bring a different aspect to our game. Ali Krieger Read Quote
I felt like the Germans were being mean to me at training, but they were actually just trying to help. I learned really quick – which made me a better player. I’m appreciative of the way they treated me. It’s just the language and, of course, as an American, I had to learn that. No offense to them; I love them to death, and I love my teammates.
