"Family's everything to me, I mean I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for them. They pushed me to do everything that I possibly can. They're so proud of me for getting the chance to play, not just to play for their country, but to play for my heritage for the first time, so I'm pretty proud to represent for them as well." -Raecene McGregor "[My father is] a difficult person. It's hard to communicate with him. It's hard to talk with him and … come to any middle ground... I think you get to a stage in your life when, you know, you're not even 20 anymore, you're getting older and I just don't have kind of the energy really for things like that. You don't need certain things in your life." -Jelena Dokic Hello, everyone! It's been two weeks since we last looked at stats, but this is back!

"I would rather my teammates and my classmates see me as the best first captain they've ever seen rather than the first black, female first captain they've ever seen. It's great -- don't get me wrong -- but my duty is to serve the corps, so I have to focus on that." -Simone Askew "It's a little uncomfortable. I feel -- 'objectified' is too strong of a word -- but I think the bigger issue with being inspirational is it's kind of passive. It's like, 'OK, cool you're inspired, now what?' I'd rather someone see me and be like, 'Cool, I'm psyched to go climb on my own now.'" -Maureen Beck "For me, overcoming fear is the most gratifying experience out of like riding waves or having these highs and lows. The overcoming something that is really scary...you feel really empowered." -Paige Alms "I'm hoping to empower women in some way and work with refugees as far as education. I have this passion for empowering women, probably from [Florida coach] Mary Wise, because I think she's one of the most empowered women I've ever met, and so is my own mother." -Carli Snyder “Don’t let nobody tell you that you can’t do something because you’re plus-size. Any size, really... You can be male, female, big, small, black, white. It doesn’t matter. You can do whatever you want to do as long as you put your mind to it.” -Asia Banks "I've dreamed of a moment like this since I was a little girl, So this means a lot to me, to my family and hopefully inspires the next generation of American women to just be patient. These are the moments that we dream of as athletes, and this is going to feel good for a really long time." -Shalane Flanagan Congrats to Flanagan on being the first American woman in 40 years to win the New York City Marathon!
"It took a long time for me to get over imposter syndrome as a slow runner. But I eventually learned to stop worrying about how I looked compared to others and focus on being the best me." -Lisa Swan |
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
