My reason for coming out isn't to be some sort of hero.

I'm at a place in my life right now where I'm very happy, very content. I'm finally OK with the idea of who I love, who I want to be with.

You have to be positive, and I'm not just talking about athletics, this also applies to life.

...as far as self-discipline goes, it's still ultimately up to me how well I can push myself. Only I can do that. I just have to keep on going, keep on working, keep on improving.

I'm tired of having to hide my feelings about the person I care about. About the person I love.

I have accomplished everything I set out to accomplish when I started playing the sport at 7. And probably even more.

I didn't grow up thinking, 'Oh, maybe someday I'm going to have a shoe named after me.'
