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 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 myself am frustrated in just where sports are at. It's a hard thing when you're out there working every day, and you know that someone else is cheating and they may not necessarily get caught.
Allyson Felix
My speed is a gift from God, and I run for His glory. Whatever I do, it all comes from him.
Allyson Felix
I'm just competitive. It doesn't matter what it is. I want to win.

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.

I grew up in my mom's third grade classroom and always helping her, and I also got a passion for kids that way.

I never let track define me. That's something that's really important to me.
