There Were No Women's Players I Knew

I'm Not Playing For Lack Of Options. But This Is Such A Fleeting Thing. When I'm Done, I'm Never, Ever Going To Be Able To Come Back To It. I Know Vancouver Is My Last Go.

It's Not About, 'let Me Play As Long As I Can So I Don't Have To Grow Up.' It's About, 'let Me Play As Long As I Enjoy It,' And When It's Time To Step Away, I Can Step Away Gracefully Even If I'm Still Good Enough To Keep Playing, Because I'm Ready For That Next Phase.

That's The Awesome Part. Little Girls Now Have A Chance To Look Up And See Women Playing Soccer, Basketball, Softball And Now Hockey - And Know They Can Win A Gold Medal, Too.

The More I've Done Work With The Ioc The More I've Come To Realize I'm Really Excited About This, The Work That I'm Doing And The Impact That I Can Have If I'm Fully Committed To It.

I'm Getting More Towards That Point Where I'm Ready To Kind Of Pass The Torch On And See The Next Generation Succeed Behind Me.
