dream. I know you've been playing soccer obviously your whole life, but I mean is that something you guys talked about? His little kids, like you could think for a moment to be doing it together. Yeah. I mean I remember watching the 99 women's World Cup as a family um and I think as soon as Christie and I realized that there was an opportunity to play soccer at this level and represent the country, we both were like okay that's what we're gonna do, and there was never like any kind of backup plan. Um So we definitely talked about it when we were like seven and eight years old. We started being like I want to play for the national team, I want to play professionally. Um and it's I think we had a little taste of it growing up, we played on to youth World Cup teams together, the U- 17's in 2008 and the huge 20s in 2010. And both of those times were like, like that had never happened before then either. And I think we had started to have this little taste of what it might be like. Um and it's just been like crazy in a whirlwind ever since. It's it's even so cool to just have two sisters playing in the end of the cell together. Um but to really like accomplished making a world foster like this is just something so crazy and like unbelievable that I never could have like thought what actually happened, right? You Yeah, it was obviously really exciting. I think part of the significance for me comes from the fact that I didn't make it last time. Um I went as an alternate in 2016 and then last year with it getting delayed. It just felt like it was um something that I was like really waiting for and and hoping that would happen for me. So um just first off I was relieved and just excited that I had like finally accomplished what I have been thinking about for the past five years um and then just to top it all off my sister, I found out my sister made the roster about a half an hour later um and that was just also like I was so relieved for her and just so excited for our family and the opportunity that we have to um do this together, which is doing it on your own is obviously incredible, but doing it with your sister is like just something else entirely. So really just excited and honored to have been selected knowing you were almost there and kind of like a chip on your shoulder moving forward for the next four or five years. Yeah, I mean exactly, I think that being so close, but just off the mark by a little bit um and deservedly, so I don't think that um I was wrong in any way, I definitely think that what happened was appropriate and so I feel like um just realizing that there was maybe more I could have done in the build up maybe. Um whether it was mentally just like training myself to be a little bit more focused or more um to perform more consistently or whether it was physically being fitter or sharper on the ball, I think I just really took it upon myself these last five years to make sure that I was never in the position again where I was close, but just not quite there. Um And so I feel like it's I've had so much help from so many people obviously um and it's taken a lot of hard work and commitment, but I think that, um, I'm just really proud and excited that I was able to make it this time and um, I feel like I learned so much from being an alternate and that without that experience, it would be hard to be here. Um, I actually shared the experience with Emily Saw on it and so I think it kind of like cemented our friendship in a way that only we really understood what it was like to go through that and, and I was so excited equally as excited to see her name on the roster as my own. So I'm just excited for us and grateful to have had all of the opportunities I've been given think every now and then when I like, I don't know maybe when somebody asks me or when I just stop and think about it, how unique it is and how like weird it is that both of us are at this level, right at the same time. Um it's like I want to just attribute it to something and I think obviously we have to just attribute it to our parents and the way they raised us in our relationship as a family and just again, the sacrifices that they made, I I do think it's like crazy um that we're both here and I guess I'm so grateful, like I think it's, I'm so proud of Christie, like she's been through a lot and and has really worked her way to get back here and um when I see that kind of dedication and commitment from her, I feel like so fortunate that like I have that in Me too because we're family. So anything that like she accomplishes, I feel like, wow, I'm capable of that to, because we're made of the same stuff. So I just think it's it's been like really inspiring and just like really I guess humbling at the same time to like do this and get to do it together. So um I knew that her call was like right after mine, so I was just like okay, like right at 9 15, I was like okay, like let me know, but I have a really good feelings, I assumed she was calling people in a row who had made it um and so she texted me, I made it and I like immediately hit Facetime and then I ran, I was actually in the locker room getting ready for practice, so I ran outside and said oh my God, congratulations, I'm so happy and then we facetime our parents And just talk to them for 10 minutes and it was so cute, like my mom answered her face time and we quickly were like mom, go get dad and I could tell my mom already know. So she started being like, okay, okay, she ran downstairs to get my dad and we had Christie just tell them together, we both made the olympic team and they were just so proud and excited and we're like kind of didn't even know what to do um but it's obviously really exciting for the whole family and my parents have given so much to us and obviously we wouldn't be here without their sacrifices and then giving us so many opportunities, so we're really just grateful to them and excited that we get to do this as a family. Yeah, I mean I think like Lynn and I have talked about this already, I obviously I'm Excited that she's she's coming with us and I know that the disappointment she must be feeling about being left off 18 um but I think that Lynn is so resilient and I have so much faith in her as a player and as a person and I know that she's gonna continue to fight for a spot on the team and um there's lots of big tournaments coming up and rosters to make and I think that I have told her that being an alternate was really good for me and that it she already has this fire in her but it will just continue to to kind of fan the flames of being like I'm going to make it, I'm going to push I'm gonna continue to fight to be here and I have like full confidence in her that she can do that all on her own and I know that she'll be there knocking at the door the very next opportunity she gets
