More quotes by 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 think it's very important, even if you're not in organized sports, but just to be active, to be healthy.
Allyson Felix
The pressure is hard. You get - the world is only watching every four years, and I think lots of people feel like they have to win in that time frame.
Allyson Felix
Try to think of working out and healthy eating as a lifestyle. Rather than go on a diet or try a crazy exercise routine, try making them something you do every day.
Allyson Felix
Competing at the Olympics is the pinnacle of your career. Everything is amplified, and you feel so proud to represent your country. You're there with athletes from all over the world. Everyone is coming together, putting differences aside.
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
I feel like my name completely does not belong on that list [of great athlets], but I'm completely grateful for everything that they [Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Florence Griffith-Joyner and even Wilma Rudolph] have done.
Allyson Felix
Philippians 1:21 is very special to me because it helps to keep my life centered.
Allyson Felix
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
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 can be a voice. I can use my platform to help the younger generation. I think it's really important for them to understand how to do things the right way, and not just in sports, in life in general.
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 passionate about my sport and grateful that I get to do it for a living.
Allyson Felix
It was all kind of a whirlwind at the beginning. I didn't really realize that I had a special gift from God. It was probably towards the end of high school in my senior year when things really started to come together and I realized that I had more potential and that I could do this as a career and that the Olympics were a possibility.
Allyson Felix
Before a race, I block out what's going on in the stadium. It's different for everyone. But for me, I've always been able to block it out. For a sprint race, it's important not to get distracted.
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
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
I want to run for eternal glory and track is great, but it's not what life is all about.
Allyson Felix
I'm an athlete who's very determined and I understand sacrifice.
Allyson Felix
I never let track define me. That's something that's really important to me. That's what I do and it's what I love, but I think by having other things I'm passionate about and interested in, it helped me to come back. It helped me to have renewed love for the sport by being able to step away and then come back.
