Age is no barrier. It's a limitation you put on your mind.

Even at 10 or 12, I was a hot, fast little cheerleader.

There is something about seeing myself improve that motivates and excites me.

People assuming that because I'm a great athlete, I can dance. But no. My rhythm is off a little bit.

The only person who can stop you from reaching your goals is you.

The glory of sport comes from dedication, determination and desire. Achieving success and personal glory in athletics has less to do with wins and losses than it does with learning how to prepare yourself so that at the end of the day, whether on the track or in the office, you know that there was nothing more you could have done to reach your ultimate goal.

The rewards are going to come, but my happiness is just loving the sport and having fun performing.
