Sometimes It Takes Years To Really Grasp

My Mother Taught Me Very Early To Believe I Could Achieve Any Accomplishment I Wanted To. The First Was To Walk Without Braces.

I Don't Consciously Try To Be A Role Model, So I Don't Know If I Am Or Not. That's For Other People To Decide.

The Feeling Of Accomplishment Welled Up Inside Of Me, Three Olympic Gold Medals. I Knew That Was Something Nobody Could Ever Take Away From Me, Ever.

I Believe In Me More Than Anything In This World.

Winning Is Great, Sure, But If You Are Really Going To Do Something In Life, The Secret Is Learning How To Lose. Nobody Goes Undefeated All The Time. If You Can Pick Up After A Crushing Defeat, And Go On To Win Again, You Are Going To Be A Champion Someday.
