I maintained my edge by always being a student; you will always have something new to learn.

Girls playing sports is not about winning gold medals. It's about self-esteem, learning to compete and learning how hard you have to work in order to achieve your goals.

The 2012 London Olympic Games fostered a generation of hope. I witnessed women participating for the very first time, representing every nation.

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.

Don't follow in any footprints, make your own prints. Because, you are the future of tomorrow.

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

I don't think being an athlete is unfeminine. I think of it as a kind of grace.
