"I have found that the best way to compete in athletics is not measured in statistics and numbers. It is measured by the enjoyment of the experience as well as the enjoyment that others experience while competing both with you and against you. It’s a great thrill to know that you have given everything you could to try to win and at the same time, done it with honor and integrity. I discovered this at a young age and it has proven to be one of the most valuable lessons I’ve ever learned."
