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.

Teaching kids about health and fitness is important to me. It's about being fit for life.

The person who talks a lot or talks over people misses out because they weren't listening.

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.

It wasn't until I was 14 and watched the 1976 Olympic games on television that I really started to dream about the big time. I remember seeing Evelyn Ashford in the 100 meters, and she was going to UCLA.

I'm not shy. I'm modest, but I'm very outgoing.

I set my sights on making an Olympic team, not realizing how tough it was going to be.
