“Happiness... is freedom from fear.”

“The modern women carry guns and are not afraid.”

“The vision of a champion is bent over, drenched in sweat, at the point of exhaustion, when nobody else is looking.”

“I’ve worked too hard and too long to let anything stand in the way of my goals. I will not let my teammates down, and I will not let myself down.”

“I am a member of the team, and I rely on the team, I defer to it and sacrifice for it, because the team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion.”

“My coach said I ran like a girl, I said if he could run a little faster he could too”

“It isn't sacrifice if you love what you're doing.”
