More quotes by 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
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'm really laid back but I still like to dress up sometimes.
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.
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
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
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.

Every moment is not great and sometimes those are the moments in which you learn the most.

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 think I'm a person who is proud of my [Christian] faith and where I come from.
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 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
I know that they [Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Florence Griffith-Joyner and even Wilma Rudolph] have paved the way and they have been a source of inspiration.
Allyson Felix
I am a big believer in visualization. I run through my races mentally so that I feel even more prepared.
Allyson Felix
Jackie Joyner-Kersee is actually someone I have a personal relationship with and who continues to do amazing things in her community. I continue to be inspired by her. If I can emulate myself after someone it's her and I just hope to have that effect on my community and continue to go on to do things like she has.

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 grew up in a Christian home with amazing parents.
Allyson Felix
I always want to give more than I gave yesterday.
