Christine Sinclair

I think a lot of people thought women's soccer had arrived and it was here to stay and it was going to be huge, but that wasn't realistic. It has progressed slowly.

When I was growing up, you didn't know there was a women's national team. Now girls grow up dreaming of playing for Canada.

I have a Pomeranian dog named Nutmeg - a combination of the soccer move and the colour. It's perfect.

My parents are my backbone. Still are. They're the only group that will support you if you score zero or you score 40.

Composers, like authors, have a lot in common. Our main goal is to connect with the listener emotionally.

I have always had confidence in my own ability.
