I think it's very important, even if you're not in organized sports, but just to be active, to be healthy.

I never let track define me. That's something that's really important to me.

Jackie Joyner-Kersee is actually someone I have a personal relationship with and who continues to do amazing things in her community. I continue to be inspired by her. If I can emulate myself after someone it's her and I just hope to have that effect on my community and continue to go on to do things like she has.

I'm just competitive. It doesn't matter what it is. I want to win.

Everyone sees the glory moments, but they don't see what happens behind the scenes.

For me, it's really important to be able to compete on the highest level.

I never let track define me. That's something that's really important to me. That's what I do and it's what I love, but I think by having other things I'm passionate about and interested in, it helped me to come back. It helped me to have renewed love for the sport by being able to step away and then come back.
