29-year-old, who has not had her left elbow since she was born, started as a left-back for the United States national team in a match against Colombia.
Pickett, the first player with a disability in her arm or leg to be selected for the National Football Team, led her to a 2-0 scoreless victory on the ground in 90 minutes.
From an early age, she dreamed of becoming a soccer player, and Pickett grew up competing with non-disabled players.
Even though she was a little uncomfortable, she did everything on her own, and sweated more than others.
Going through her age groups, making her professional debut in 2016 and playing in her over 100 games, she has given her dreams and courage to children with disabilities.
She said three years ago when she shared her deep emotion on the field when she smiled brightly with a child who lacked a part of her arm like herself and put her arms around her.
[The disability of one arm doesn't stop me.
I can go to the stars with one arm...
Even with one arm, I can give you the best hug.]
The image of Picket running proudly with the phrase 'imperfect is beautiful' engraved on her arm, shows once again that no matter how difficult she is, nothing is impossible.
[Carson Pickett/USA Women's Soccer Team: 'I can't' and 'I can't' are words I cannot tolerate.
'I can't' is the worst word in my dictionary.]
