More quotes by Gail Devers
My life is a blessing every day that I get up. God saved my feet. How am I not going to use them?
Gail Devers
People see me now and ask if I'm still running. I may look like I am, but I'm really not. People think I still run every day but I ran for 25 years and I deserve to not do anything but walk or ride the bike with my kids.
Gail Devers
People talk about retiring. I never said that r-word. People though I went away after the Olympic Games. I took time off to do something I've always wanted to be - a mother.
Gail Devers
I have to be cautious, have my thyroid levels checked, and as long as I do that, I'm fine.
Gail Devers
Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe.
Gail Devers
I didn't get nervous when I ran, but I get nervous watching other people now. I root for anybody with a USA on their chest.
Gail Devers
Looking back, I'm so proud to have gone to five Olympics - I believe only three other Americans have achieved that.
Gail Devers
I always said a prayer before I ran, and my prayer was to win. My prayer was that God would allow me to run my best on that day, or better than my best. So whatever the outcome is, I have to be satisfied with it if I know I gave it my best effort.
Gail Devers
I find motivation within myself. I run track not from a competitive Nature, but because I'm a very goal-oriented person.
Gail Devers
I have a real passion for children. I always wanted to teach and only became an athlete because my parents told my brother Parenthesis and me that we should use any God-given talent we had.
Gail Devers
You can never give up or get down on yourself. A true champion keeps his or her chin up and always takes life one race at a time.
Gail Devers
I dont have a thyroid anymore. I had radioactive iodine treatment, which destroyed my thyroid. I take medication every day.
Gail Devers
I was diagnosed with Graves' disease, an illness of the thyroid gland. Instead of surgery, I was given radiation treatment.
Gail Devers
It's not what other people believe you can do, it's what you believe.
Gail Devers
Remember, all things are possible to those who believe!
Gail Devers
You have to find that love within yourself. If you love yourself, you feel good about yourself, and sports help you feel good about yourself.
Gail Devers
My grandma passed away at 98 1/2 and I want to live to 100. I want to be able to do what I can do even at 100.
