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

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

Everybody wants to win.

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.

If you do not believe yourself no one else will.

I've accomplished everything a person can accomplish on a basketball court, but I never thought about the future when I was younger. I never made plans for the next stage in my life.

It didn't matter how good I was. It was always, 'You're a girl. You can't play with the guys.' It's always been motivation for me.
