Concentration is why some athletes are better than others. You develop that concentration in training and concentrate in a meet.

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

I overcame size with mechanics.

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

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

Both parents supported my becoming a world class athlete.

I used biomechanics to save time when I was competing.
