Quotes
- "I love my sport because it is unique, can be a huge challenge, and its not very often you get the chance to go 90 miles per hour and not get in trouble! Definite adrenaline rush."
-
"I compete clean because: My health (in the words of my Dad “My body is a temple!”). My integrity. My family. The reputation of my sport, my country and myself. It’s the honorable, legit thing to do, plain and simple."
-
"When I compete I want to know that all the hard work I put in pays off. Doping of any kind would take away from that. Also, if I am going to succeed in my sport I want know it was all me and my dedication, passion, and ability. It also sends the wrong message when you live as an athlete, then take the easy way out."
-
"My secrets to success: I’m dedicated. I train hard. I take the bad with the good and learn from the mistakes & less than ideal competitions. I stay true to myself/don’t let anything effect how I do things. I always have fun."
