Honestly, if I can plan out a few meals ahead of time, I feel much more organized.
Summer Sanders
To be a champion, I think you have to see the big picture. It's not about winning and losing it's about every day hard work and about thriving on a challenge. It's about embracing the pain that you'll experience at the end of a race and not being afraid. I think people think too hard and get afraid of a certain challenge.

Tennis is interesting because the women are almost more popular than the men. In the U.S. Open, women even get exactly the same money as the men.
Summer Sanders
I slice up a ton of cucumbers, celery, carrots and red and yellow peppers. Keep them in your fridge so you always have something handy to curb your snack attack.
Summer Sanders
I enjoyed every bit of my swimming career. I think that's the most important advice - to enjoy what you do
Summer Sanders
For me, music makes my smile brighter during my workouts. It adds that extra something that motivates me to go further or work harder!

Indoor pools just don't seem as inviting to me.

I was a die-hard, obsessed fan of Michael Jordan. I'd take his posters with me to away meets, I'd walk out on the deck in my Air Jordans before I swam, I'd write 23 on my cap. I'm just a huge Jordan fan.

It really was my brother who got me involved in swimming. I wanted to be just like him and do everything he was doing.
Summer Sanders
I lead by example. My kids know what sweat is. They've seen me come home from so many runs and asked, 'What's on your skin? How did you get it?' And I tell them, 'It's from exercise!' So now my son will come home from a bike ride, take off his helmet and say, 'Look, Mom. I'm sweating! I just worked out!'
Summer Sanders
That's what I love about running - I feel like we all celebrate each other. Even if you're racing somebody at the finish, it's like you're in it together.
Summer Sanders
I grew up in northern California, where it was consistently in the hundreds in the summertime. My dad didn't think he should have to turn on the air conditioning when we had a swimming pool in our backyard it was our built-in air conditioner.
Summer Sanders
I've been barefoot most of my life: either flip flops or barefoot on the pool deck. Although you'd think that would make me a good candidate for barefoot running, that doesn't work with me.
Summer Sanders
I have so much to learn when it comes to running. I just don't ever want it to feel like a chore. When I choose to sign up for a race or go out for a run, it's to make myself feel good, and I almost always do.
Summer Sanders
Running is how I clear my head and find my center again.
Summer Sanders
I don't care how much you're working out when you go to put on that bikini, you're like, 'Oh no!'
Summer Sanders
A great way to get all the right nutrients is to make a colorful plate - mix of good vegetables, carbohydrates, and protein. If you notice all your vegetables are green, change it up and add another color for a variety of benefits in one meal.
Summer Sanders
Swimming is great because there are levels of goals. First, when I was four, it was making it to the other end and overcoming the fear of standing up in front of everybody at a swim meet because I was such a shy kid.
Summer Sanders
Preparing mentally takes more out of you than the physical aspect of it.
Summer Sanders
Thinking about your training should put a smile on your face. As cliche as it sounds, you are worth all the time and energy you've put in. Unleash your emotions with a cheer, or even a signature roar, after a tough workout.
