More quotes by 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
There are moments that aren't great. And I think it's amazing for people to be able to have some insight, to be able to see the support system and what really happens.

Philippians 1:21 is very special to me because it helps to keep my life centered.
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.

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.

And as long as I'm passionate about the sport, I'm able to do that and I'm happy, then I would love to do another Olympics. I'm just going to see how I'm feeling.
Allyson Felix
I spend around two and half hours on the track every day running and another 2 hours in the weight room lifting weights with my strength coach.

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.

I want to run for eternal glory and track is great, but it's not what life is all about.
Allyson Felix
What's really heavy on my heart is fighting physical inactivity.
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
For me, there's a lot of expectations and you want to be able to live up to them.
Allyson Felix
For me, my faith is the reason I run. I definitely feel I have this amazing gift that God has blessed me with, and it's all about using it to the best of my ability.
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.
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
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
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
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 have learned that track doesn't define me. My faith defines me. I'm running because I have been blessed with a gift.
