You're Never Too Old To Chase Your

From Age Eleven To Age Sixteen I Lived A Spartan Life Without The Usual Adolescent Uncertainty. I Wanted To Be The Best Swimmer In The World, And There Was Nothing Else.

Swimming Is Probably The Ultimate Of Burnout Sports.

Just Getting In The Pool For Seven Straight Hours Is Unbearable To Me.... It's Grueling. There's Nothing Physically Pleasurable About It. If You're Doing A Hard Workout, You're Throwing Up In The Gutter. At Night You Cling To Your Pillow And Just Hope That Your Body Revives Before You Have To Go Back And Do It Again.

The Spirit Is Larger Than The Body. The Body Is Pathetic Compared To What We Have Inside Us

You Have A Dream And You Have Obstacles In Front Of You As We All Do. None Of Us Ever Get Through This Life Without Heartache, Without Turmoil, And If You Believe And You Have Faith And You Can Get Knocked Down And Get Back Up Again And You Believe In Perseverance As A Great Human Quality, You Find Your Way.
