Hope Solo

In truth, 2007 was the hardest year of my life. I lost my best friend. I lost my father.

Being responsible and taking care of your body is truly how you make your pay cheque, how you excel and succeed in your lifelong goals, so for me it's just an everyday lifestyle.

My life is a beautiful struggle.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.

I don't really go out that much, if I'm honest. I'm quite a recluse. If I had my way, I'd probably be at home most of the time with a book and a cup of tea or glass of wine.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.
