More quotes by Allyson Felix
I have learned that track doesn't define me. My faith defines me. I'm running because I have been blessed with a gift.
Allyson Felix
The most important lesson that I have learned is to trust God in every circumstance. Lots of times we go through different trials and following God's plan seems like it doesn't make any sense at all. God is always in control and he will never leave us.
Allyson Felix
I definitely think I put more pressure on myself. I can be hard on myself and super-critical and very rarely satisfied or happy. I am my biggest critic.
Allyson Felix
If I wasn't active and involved in different sports and just moving around, I wouldn't have even known that I had the potential to become an Olympian.
Allyson Felix
I love a great pair of jeans and a nice blouse.
Allyson Felix
The biggest way I stay motivated is to run with a group of friends. Sometimes it's hard to get going by yourself, but if you have a plan and a meeting time, you know this run will happen for sure. It's a way to have fun - while also getting in a workout. Plus it distracts from pain, helps you fight fatigue, and gives you that extra push.

I think that kids aren't even exploring the option of sports anymore, and they don't even know what they could do.
Allyson Felix
Parents have to understand, that even if their child isn't showing athletic excellence in a certain sport, they still need to be involved. They don't need to be involved in a military type of setting, they just need to get out and play and enjoy themselves and find it themselves.
Allyson Felix
I'm an athlete who's very determined and I understand sacrifice.
Allyson Felix
I think every genius person has a bit of insanity.
Allyson Felix
I've heard so many stories of young girls watching the Olympics and being inspired by it, and they want to do it now, and that's really cool.
Allyson Felix
I'm really laid back but I still like to dress up sometimes.
Allyson Felix
You know, I love wearing heels. I wish I could wear them all the time, but, you know, my sport doesn't really permit it.
Allyson Felix
I feel like I'm always going to be me. It always goes back to being the person that I am. And I hope that will never change.
Allyson Felix
My mom is great and I make sure that we pray together before every race. She helps me put everything in perspective and remind me of the real reason I run.
Allyson Felix
My faith inspires me so much. It is the very reason that I run. I feel that my running is completely a gift from God and it is my responsibility to use it to glorify him.
Allyson Felix
I know that I wasn't bred to be an Olympian. I didn't start running until high school, and I just stumbled upon to.
Allyson Felix
I try to think about my goals. I think about my competitors-I know they're working hard, and if they are, I have to work hard too. I have to be one step ahead of them.
Allyson Felix
I think I'm a person who is proud of my [Christian] faith and where I come from.
Allyson Felix
I never let track define me. That's something that's really important to me.
