Once I leave this earth, I know I've done something that will continue to help others.
From Jackie Joyner-Kersee
Your environment doesn't define you. I don't have a lot of money, but I can help train people and I can talk to people. We can all be mentors to the next generation.
There are few restrictions on your life with asthma, as long as you take care of yourself.
I always have been trying to work on the other side of Jackie, and that is, making sure that my appearance, that my image, is right; also, working in the job world, knowing how it is to wake up and go to a job.
I don't think being an athlete is unfeminine. I think of it as a kind of grace.
Ask any athlete: We all hurt at times. I'm asking my body to go through seven different tasks. To ask it not to ache would be too much.
Even at 10 or 12, I was a hot, fast little cheerleader.
I do not take steroids. I never have. It's sad to me that people want to point fingers. I don't do that. That's not me. I wouldn't feel like a human being.
I'm a realist and I always have been. Quality training is what I do now; before it was a combination of both quality and quantity. Now I'm not trying to be a world-class athlete, I don't need to train at that level. It's about being fit, fit for life.
I would like 'I Dream of Genie' powers.
