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.

More quotes by 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'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.

For me, there's a lot of expectations and you want to be able to live up to them.

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.

For me, it's really important to be able to compete on the highest level.

It was not until the end of my freshman year in high school that I thought I could really have a future in track and field. I definitely did not think I could make it to the Olympics back then, though I was just focused on making it to the state finals!

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.

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 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.

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.

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

What's really heavy on my heart is fighting physical inactivity.
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
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 grew up in my mom's third grade classroom and always helping her, and I also got a passion for kids that way.
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.
