I found the emotion that as an athlete you block out, and it really helped me to understand myself as a person. I'm a really emotional person and it helped make me a better person.

As an athlete, you figure you work your whole life to have what you have, and to be able to show the world what you have and how proud you are of it, that's always fun.

You don't have to try to hurt people and be angry to be an athlete.

If you see in sports at a super high level, people get hurt or have injuries when there isn't that pleasure, the true pleasure of the sport, when they're tired or demoralized or they're not quite focused.

I love what I do and I love being an athlete, but I also love all the things that have come with it.

I'm an athlete. I go out there and fight my heart out.

As an athlete, you are literally programmed to endure a specific amount of pain.

Sport can bring communities together and can release a lot of pent-up emotions.

I've always been into sports and being physical.

I think being an athlete prepares you for more things than people give us credit for.
