USWNT veteran Becky Sauerbrunn explained how the 2012 London Olympics helped her become a winner and prepared her for the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

Women's Championship in 2010. However, everything changed two years later when the U.S. beat Japan 2-1 in the Olympic gold medal match in London."Winning gold in 2012, for me, I never really knew if I was a winner or not," Sauerbrunn said in an interview with NBCUniversal Local."I knew that I was a decent soccer player, but I didn't know if I had it in me to help a team win something.

"2012 felt like I was finding myself," Sauerbrunn said."I was a sponge trying to capture everybody's advice and to figure out the player that I wanted to be, the person I wanted to be. It's still an ongoing process, but I would say now I'm way more comfortable with myself, way more comfortable in the player I am and the leadership style that I have.
