U.S. SOCCER GREAT CARLI LLOYD REMAINS ‘GOAL’-FOCUSED FOR TOKYO OLYMPICS
Never has the popular player’s winning mentality been more prominent than at the 2015 World Cup Final, when she scored an astonishing trio of goals against Japan, all in the first 16 minutes. “After I scored a hat trick in the World Cup final, I became even more motivated to continue to take my game to the top,” says Lloyd. “I was hungrier than ever after that moment, and I truly believed in myself to become even better. My whole life, I’ve been wired to try things that I am not good at, and I have never been afraid to try something and fail at it. Being uncomfortable is when you grow and evolve, and I have always been comfortable with being uncomfortable. No one sets the bar for myself, except me, and when I reach that bar, I just keep on raising it even more!”
