I always got my work done before playing.

My father was also a principal of a school and mother was a curriculum advisor. Both were educators.

I never struggled with injury problems because of my preparation - in particular my stretching.

In digital world, sport provides opportunity to bring people together.

I always had to keep improving my skills in order to remain competitive and keep winning.

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.

Both parents supported my becoming a world class athlete.
