Carli Lloyd

Carli Lloyd is my model of a big-game competitor. Scoring the decisive goals in two Olympic finals and producing a World Cup final hat-trick in 2015 is not luck, it is mental steel forged through relentless work. The back-to-back FIFA Player of the Year honors only confirm what those moments showed. What draws me to her story is that she was reportedly a grinder rather than a prodigy, someone who willed herself to greatness. I respect athletes who are still standing when the stakes are highest, and Lloyd was almost always the last one standing. She raised the ceiling for American soccer.
