If I Stop To Kick Every Barking

Winning Is Great, But Being Able To Finish My Last Olympic Games On American Soil Was Very Important. Even Though I Was Injured, I Didn't Let My Psyche Get The Best Of Me And Cause Me To Doubt Myself, So I Was Willing To Pull Every Muscle In My Body In '96 In Order To Get The Job Done And I Came Away With The Bronze Medal.

Getting Started As A Volunteer Anywhere Can Be A Challenge To A Lot Of People. The Biggest Hurdle Is That People Think They Have To Give All Of Their Spare Time. But If You Only Have A Half Hour, You Can Still Make A Difference. Assisting With Small Tasks Is Invaluable.

It Wasn't Until I Was 14 And Watched The 1976 Olympic Games On Television That I Really Started To Dream About The Big Time. I Remember Seeing Evelyn Ashford In The 100 Meters, And She Was Going To Ucla.

There Are Many Women Who Came Before Me Who Didn't Really Have The Same Opportunities That I Have Had. That's Why I Always Wanted To Be A Great Ambassador - Not Only Today's Generation - But For The Women Who Really Didn't Have A Voice, But Who Paved The Way For Me.

If I Stop To Kick Every Barking Dog I Am Not Going To Get Where I'm Going.
