Those are the words and mentality of Clint "Deuces" Dempsey, arguably, the best player on the US Men's National Soccer team and team scoring leader for English Premier League's FC Fulham club. This candid sit down with Clint goes through his emotional mindset when it comes to his literal and figurative journey from Texas to England. These world class athletes have a desire to push themselves past any limits set by others, distance, or circumstance. They also are everyday humans just like you and I even though they seem larger than life, especially on two continents. They have families, kids, and hobbies that they attend to. Clint seems to be very grounded with his priorities and it has shown on the pitch as he enjoyed his finest season in the Premier League as he set the record for highest goals in a season by an American and also became Fulham's All-Time Goal Scorer. He was voted top player for 2010-11 by the Fulham fans. He's been a veteran of two World Cups and will lead the team in this summer's CONCACAF Gold Cup being played in the US.
