At the Athens Olympics in 2004, Heather O'Reilly was a kid along for the ride with the U.S. women's soccer team.
Next month in Beijing, she will be driving the bus.
Four years have turned a phenom into a veteran, and now the national team will be counting on the East Brunswick native to deliver on and off the pitch.
"In Athens I was 19, I was a young kid, really just happy to make the team and play with my idols," O'Reilly said earlier this month in Bedminster, where she was speaking to Sky Blue Soccer campers. "I was just kind of looking to contribute however I could."
