TOBIN HEATH

We believe that we get so that we can give, and we've been so blessed in the platforms and opportunities that we've been given.

Our God's going to be victorious. He's the Creator of the universe. I'm just a vessel trying to do my part with what I've been given.

Unfortunately, soccer can be cruel sometime.

Our national team is very unique in the way we want to play.

I want to play for a big club.

I remember when Manchester United came into the league and I remember saying, 'Wow, this is huge. This is huge for a club like this to have a women's team.' It's so important for clubs with all this tradition, history, power, influence to have a women's team and to see the progress that they've made and what they've put into it.

We don't make enough in our job to live the way that we would want to and to have the support that we would need. Most of our income doesn't even come from our salary from our employer and we have to find income from other places.

My first WPS season was a bust.

I feel like, City, because they're this modern global team, in the United States we think they're a really big club. But here in Manchester, it's not a big club.

Being an Olympic athlete doesn't change who you are as a person.

Lifestyle off the field influences your play on the field.

My coaches - and even my parents - wanted to give me the space for exploration to see what I could do. Or even to see what I couldn't do and what I would want to learn how to do. It was always about inspiring me and giving me that freedom that you would want in childhood.

Tactical and technical awareness can only improve and sharpen with time.

Everybody wants to be winners - you have to trust that God has a greater plan for this even when you can't see it.

When I put on my first Man Utd training kit, it felt enormous in a way that was really special in kind of like a childhood dream type way. Obviously, we don't have that history in the U.S., so to be able to put on a shirt like that as an American was really special.

The ocean is so powerful and so healing at the same time. It's kind of like a sanctuary. And the culture of the people in surfing, I love that. It's such a community. It's just got this, like, chill way about it. When you're in the water, it's very inclusive.

I think it's being able to do both, obviously being able to play your role in the team and those responsibilities but also being able to have that freedom... to express yourself in the way that you play.

I just know who I am and what I like.

I find European football sometimes a little boring.

We really believe that mentorship is a powerful tool.

The sport of soccer in general is very combative. People don't realize it's very one-on-one a lot of times.

I remember playing one of our first matches in Old Trafford, the home of Manchester United, and I remember that feeling of just being in that iconic venue.

I think because of our society, and the way that I grew up in soccer, I had to become well-rounded, but I also cherished the parts of me that made me special. I'm thankful for that because it's made me a better player.

It's always an honor and a privilege to play in front of supporters from the club I grew up with.

For the longest time people were like, 'Oh you play soccer, what else do you do?' Cause they couldn't believe that you could just be women's professional athlete. That's really frustrating because it's almost devaluing your actual skill and ability.
