Allie Long's journey to the Rio Olympics

If this wasn't enough motivation, then nothing would do. While living in Houston at her fiancé’s parents for five months during the National Women's Soccer League off-season, Allie Long was always reminded as to why she was there. "They would have a Brazilian flag in their garage," she said. "So every time I would leave or come in I would see it. Just be a reminder, just motivated me."
