You have to work. There is no easy way to success. You are gonna face obstacles, and if you get in the habit of giving up, you won’t reach the finish line...You have got to always finish.
Inspirations from Olympians, 02/18/19
The main thing is to keep the main thing, the main thing, It applies to everything.
When you come to practice, that’s the main thing, When you’re in the classroom, that’s the main thing. That’s where your focus should be. You shouldn’t have any other distractions.
Sometimes a little attention goes a long way, I think it’s important for our young people to have people who give them attention, and who they can look up to.
I think we need more mentorship from our older athletes.
It’s going to be a different Olympics, is still a scary thing to have to deal with.
That’s going to be a very competitive race, It’s still going to be a very competitive Olympics.
Each one, teach one. I really believe that.
Even kids that may never go further than high school track, they’ll never forget this, hopefully we may have motivated some potential Olympians today.
