I really do miss playing basketball. I don't play a lot of pick-up games. But I do like using basketball as a form of cross training.

I might attempt Zumba. I haven't yet, but I thought it would be a lot of fun and different.

My denial and irresponsible attitude about asthma put me at great risk and caused me so much needless suffering. My hope is that the kids I talk to learn to open up about their asthma, become educated about their condition, and seek help.

There are few restrictions on your life with asthma, as long as you take care of yourself.

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

Once I leave this earth, I know I've done something that will continue to help others.

The greatest finish line for me was finishing college - it was a pact I made with my mother, during a time when she fell ill. That happened during my Freshman year, and unfortunately she never saw me compete in the Olympics. But she really wanted me to finish college, because she never finished Junior High.
