Abby Wambach

You were never Little Red Riding Hood. You were always the wolf.

Failure is not something to be ashamed of, it's something to be powered by. Failure is the highest octane fuel your life can run on.

You will not always be the goal scorer. And when you are not, you better be rushing toward her.

Don't just ask yourself, 'What do I want to do?' Ask yourself: 'Who do I want to be?' Because what you do will never define you. Who you are always will.

Failure is not something to be ashamed of, it's something to be powered by. Failure is the highest octane fuel your life can run on. You gotta learn to make failure your fuel.

You will not always be the goal scorer. And when you are not, you better be rushing toward her.

If I could go back and tell my younger self one thing it would be this: Abby, you were never Little Red Riding Hood. You were always the wolf.
