I want to be known for my athletic achievements, not my celebrity.
Lindsey Vonn
Image
I enjoyed trying everything. I'd never get a chance to try fencing or archery if it wasn't for this. It was really fun experience.

I love the cowbell. I think it's awesome. My family got the cowbell app on their iPhones. It's a classic part of ski racing.

I don't give up easily. I have plans to be around for a while.

Life's short, you know? Especially as an athlete. Your career is very short, and you use the opportunities that you have because you're not going to have them again.

If you work hard, it will pay off in the end.

Be proud of yourself when you do keep going!
