“ To me, True Sport means purity. The purity of human effort and measurement of the person as an athlete - while not forgetting that the athlete is only a part of the person.”

“The top 3 reasons I compete are: 1 - I need to sleep through the night. 2 - I have a mirror and I have to look into it every day when I brush my teeth. 3 - I know my value is measured by myself and not others.”

“The top 3 secrets to my success are: 1 - Boundless (unrealistic) self-confidence. 1 - Hard work. 1 - Sleep.”

“The top 3 reasons I love my sport are: 1 - Where else can you test your mettle and find out what you are made of? 2 - Have you ever felt that a 16 pound ball is weightless? No you have not, but I have. And that is way cool. 3 - I have been around the World, and I actually got paid to do it. What a scam!”
