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.

When I started competing, you had to have your coach there. Now you can be coached from a home office via Skype or video. That's not the same as having them on the field with you.

I do not take steroids. I never have. It's sad to me that people want to point fingers. I don't do that. That's not me. I wouldn't feel like a human being.

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

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

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

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