There are so many people afraid of a task. They get so overwhelmed by the obstacles in front of them that they shy away from reaching beyond a position of safety.

I used biomechanics to save time when I was competing.

I don't really see the hurdles. I sense them like a memory.

The joint lubrication was not what it was when I was competing, and I decided that not having arthritis or rheumatism for the rest of my life was a lot more important to me than returning to the track.

I was always a mean and lean athlete - not tall - not large.

My father was an all-American football player.

I overcame size with mechanics.
