The main thing is to care. Care very hard, even if it is only a game you are playing.

It is very hard to be a female leader. While it is assumed that any man, no matter how tough, has a soft side... and female leader is assumed to be one-dimensional.

Any therapist will tell you that when you're ready, you will come out. To be outed means you weren't ready.

I wanted to use sports for social change.

If your partner wants to be private, you have to respect that.

I always respect right off the bat because we are human, but then over time you learn who the person truly is, just like they learn about you. Hope it works out really well, and you hope that builds a stronger connection over time. You can't be friends with everybody.

Reputation is what others think about you. What's far more important is character, because that is what you think about yourself.
