I wanted to go to medical school. But, I never got a college scholarship.

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

Stretching was a major part of my preparation.

I used biomechanics to save time when I was competing.

Both parents supported my becoming a world class athlete.

My father was an all-American football player.

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