Last one of 2016. Let's make it a good one! “I’m not the next Usain Bolt or Michael Phelps. I’m the first Simone Biles.” -Simone Biles Hope your 2016 was great and I wish you an even better 2017!! Excited for the upcoming year and all the new opportunities!
"Once you start, adrenaline gets you through anything that's going on. There were moments I was a little tired. But our team was doing really great stuff, so that got me excited and hyped up." -Katie Lou Samuelson, on not letting sickness stop her from playing. "I've found what works for me. My hijab and clothes are really breathable and I'm not slowed down in any way." -Amaiya Zafar "I feel ready for my comeback. Physically, I'm still far away from my level before the injury but I've made clear progress in training over the last few weeks." -Anna Veith "My grandmothers taught me how to be fundamentally sound. Just as in life, progress on the court starts with baby steps. If you want to be the best, you have to sacrifice. Do the things that no one else wants to do. While it may seem like basketball fans are preoccupied with dirty dunks and shiny tricks, real court value comes down to the fundamentals." -Taja Wilson "A lot of people underestimate women's abilities in male-dominated sports. We work on our own car and take all responsibility for racing our own, and I think that's unique. I think it's really cool for women to know that we can be just as ****** good as the boys." - Kendra McDonald Try and figure out what the *'s mean...
Merry Christmas, everyone!!! Have a great day! You deserve great things!!!
"Here's my dad, throwing me in the air at my first Christmas. Guess this explains why I was never afraid of heights!" -Cassidy Krug |
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
