“The backbone of success is...hard work, determination, good planning, and perserverence.”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“If a team intimidate you physically and you let them, they've won.”
