I'm A Realist And I Always Have

As You Grow Older And Young People Come Up To You With Their History Books, You Realize That Some Of The Things I Have Been Able To Do Have Been Impactful. But For Me, I Try To Keep Everything In Perspective And Stay Humble.

Once I Leave This Earth, I Know I've Done Something That Will Continue To Help Others.

I'm More Of A Hands-on Person. I Like Working With Young People From The Standpoint Of Providing Support For The Grassroots Programs. State, National And Olympic Champions Begin At A Grassroots Level.

For Me It's The Challenge -- The Challenge To Try To Beat Myself Or Do Better Than I Did In The Past. I Try To Keep In Mind Not What I Have Accomplished But What I Have To Try To Accomplish In The Future.

I Don't Think Being An Athlete Is Unfeminine. I Think Of It As A Kind Of Grace.
