More quotes by 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.

I had worked so hard that was my opportunity. And my mom was just able to turn it around for me. She helped me to be able to see the other side of things and that this is not the end for me.
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.

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
I'm always nervous. If I wasn't nervous, it would be weird. I get the same feeling at all the big races. It's part of the routine, and I accept it. It means I'm there and I'm ready.

I love a great pair of jeans and a nice blouse.

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.
Allyson Felix
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.

My dad's a pastor and a seminary professor, my mom, she has such great faith.

Philippians 1:21 is very special to me because it helps to keep my life centered.
Allyson Felix
I always look back to my first Olympic medal in 2004 in Athens. I was very new to the sport, and it was my first big win at the Olympics.
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
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
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.

Everyone sees the glory moments, but they don't see what happens behind the scenes.
Allyson Felix
I focused solely on the sprints, dedicated my time there, got in the weight room, just really did everything I could to make sure I would be in the best position to run for gold.
