Some people might say my coming out after just winning the MVP award is heroic, and I understand that.

...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 had never made any plans beyond basketball.

No matter how far life pushes you down, no matter how much you hurt, you can always bounce back.

Being gay has nothing to do with the three gold medals or the three MVPs or the four championships I've won. I'm still the same person. I'm Sheryl.

I never really officially retired from the WNBA, I just left the doors open.

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