If I could, I'd change the way I came up through the football ranks. I'd love to have had an academy life the way the boys have it. I think female footballers would be so much better for having that opportunity, and we'd be more effective because we would be better players.
My son's a West Point cadet.
I began serving my country when I was 18 years old and entered the U.S. Naval Academy.
In military school, on day one you must memorize the mission of the Merchant Marine Academy.
I was at an academy for basically my whole life when I played tennis, so I had the same schedule every single day.
When you're in an academy, every day you're in at 9 A.M., and it's, 'Do this, do that,' but we just came with our football.
I have three sisters. I went to an all-girls academy.
I was at the Gopichand Academy since I was 10.
Youngsters need self-esteem, simple targets in life which give energy. In the academy they can be so easily distracted by so many other things it's amazing.
I think it's especially hard when you start at an academy, because everything is decided for you. And then when you go with U.S.T.A., there's only so many decisions you can make.
