More quotes by 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.

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.

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.

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.

Being a role model is a privilege.

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.

My speed is a gift from God, and I run for His glory. Whatever I do, it all comes from him.

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.

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.

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 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.

The most important lesson that I have learned is to trust God in every circumstance. Lots of times we go through different trials and following God's plan seems like it doesn't make any sense at all. God is always in control and he will never leave us.

I was a disruptive child.
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
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.

I'm just competitive. It doesn't matter what it is. I want to win.
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'm really laid back but I still like to dress up sometimes.
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.
Allyson Felix
I am a big believer in visualization. I run through my races mentally so that I feel even more prepared.
