"But if you don't believe in yourself, who else is going to believe in you? I also looked to coaches and training partners for that inspiration to keep believing, training hard and going for it. But inevitably, it has to come down to you." -Non Stanford "For me, personally, getting a podium is not as important as feeling super comfortable on my skiing." -Julia Mancuso "I want the gold medal for my legacy; I want the full set with a world title, and I want to be a double Olympic champion. That thought that we've never had a fighter from Britain who has won double gold at boxing is enough to get me up in the morning. When it's pouring with rain outside on a filthy, cold morning and I have to go running, that single thought is enough." -Nicola Adams "I was sitting there thinking, 'Everybody views these athletes as the aggressors, what about the athletes that are abused?' They don't have a voice. No one is speaking for them. I could have a big impact, I think." -Olivia Hassler "When you feel the most satisfied, when you've done all that you can do, when you're working this hard and performing at that level, there's nothing else that can be asked of you. No matter, win or lose or anything, you're putting it all out there. That's what you want." -Breanna Stewart Congratulations to her on winning her FOURTH NCAA Women's Basketball title!
''It got pretty quiet, so I wasn't really sure if it went in; I've had some chances throughout the tournament and I guess this was just the right place at the right time. I would have given up any other goal at any other point for this one.'' -Alex Carpenter "My mother let us know it was OK -- as girls in sports -- to work hard, be aggressive and go for what you want. And not to be simply what people expect you to be." -Sarah MCKEMIE I just want to apologize about the inconsistent format because I find it to be disorganized and unprofessional. I'm sorry about how it looks and I'm trying to address the issue. The Weebly app recently updated and I feel that it's more complicated than the version before. I was very comfortable with the version before but I don't think I'm able to go back to it. Again, sorry for the inconvenience and I hope to provide you all with the best content.
-J "Ice hockey is not a popular sport yet in Japan. Although men's hockey has several categories based on age, women have to join adult clubs after age 12. Even in Hokkaido, which is one of the biggest hockey prefectures in Japan thanks to its cold weather, the number of young hockey players is decreasing. Therefore, I would like to make hockey better known in Japan and hopefully increase the number of players." -Nana Fujimoto “If you get attention it’s either you’re doing something really right or you’re doing something really wrong. At this point I think I’m doing things pretty well. It’s definitely a learning curve and trying to manage time and media requests and things like that. But it’s all good. I’m enjoying it so far.” -Brooke Henderson |
AuthorHi, I'm Jenna and I'm a sports fan! I've been avidly watching sports since 2011 because I found that by watching sports, I would be able to communicate with my dad and brother better. Ever since I got into sports, I've been able to enjoy myself more when I go to sporting events with my family. Archives
