I had worked so hard; that was my opportunity. And my mom was just able to turn it around for me. She helped me to be able to see the other side of things and that this is not the end for me.
Allyson FelixIf I wasn't active and involved in different sports and just moving around, I wouldn't have even known that I had the potential to become an Olympian.
Allyson FelixI 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.
