For Christen’s shoot, she posed for the cover against a dusty landscape with a super dirty soccer ball resting against her thigh. For her interview, she said her body is “100 per cent a byproduct of my sport. I have butt muscles, thigh muscles, and then my upper body is super skinny – except for in my shoulders, which you need for a little bit of strength to hold other players off the ball.”
She also said she struggled through life with wanting the perfect body. “But if you think about it, the bodies that I see every day are my teammates’, and they are some of the most amazing bodies in the world – so that gives you a skewed perspective,” she said. “I’ve spent a lot of time being insecure about my body, but it’s done so much for me. It’s my tool, my vessel for my job.”

Greg, a retired Olympic swimmer who revealed he was HIV positive in 1995, told the magazine, “I try to live by example – being gay, being HIV-positive – you know, life goes on. HIV taught me that I’m a lot stronger than I ever believed I was. Also, not to take anything for granted. I didn’t think I would see 30, and here I am at 56.”
