And it was a, it was a very freeing feeling.
And
When I announced my retirement, at the point that I did, I think it was in August, I had a couple of months to sort of go on this farewell tour with my teammates and play a couple more games with the national team, with my club team.
And I think that's when my teammates were really able to kind of see that mask off that I had on for so long that...
I just never let anything penetrate.
And I think that that's sort of what I was looking forward to in this next chapter was to really be able to live life, to be able to do all the things that I couldn't.
I put soccer as number one forever and it was all enough for me.
And that essentially is the most freeing feeling.
And now it's like I get fulfillment in other places.
Yeah, it was, you know, I look back to the moment I came on the national team in 2005.
I mentioned before where I only played two games that year.
They had been renegotiating their collective bargaining agreement with U.S.
Soccer.
And in there, they were asking for guaranteed salaries and health benefits and pregnancy leave and all of these things that
I simply, you know, had no idea about.
I just played in two games, received two checks, and I'm like, oh, wow, this is amazing.
But little did I know that they were fighting for the next generation to be set up.
essentially leaving the sport better than when they came into it.
And then, you know, you fast forward to myself and my other teammates and kind of what we had to fight for.
It just became necessary for us to then take that step forward.
