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.

The first mile is mental. The rest are all heart.

It really was my brother who got me involved in swimming. I wanted to be just like him and do everything he was doing.

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.

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.

Indoor pools just don't seem as inviting to me.
Summer Sanders
Running is how I clear my head and find my center again.

It's not really about the competition. Your biggest challenge in a race is yourself. You're often racing against time. You're frequently running everything through your mind. You're always competing against preconceived ideas. It's not really the person next to you that you worry about.

The more sleep you get in before the clock turns midnight, the more rested you feel no matter what time your alarm goes off.

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.

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.

When people say, 'Hey, wanna come to our house for dinner?' I say, 'Yeah, what should I bring?' They say, 'How about the dessert?' I just don't skimp on the dessert. I make it the yummy way it should be made, and then I just don't eat the whole pan.

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.

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
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.
Summer Sanders
Honestly, if I can plan out a few meals ahead of time, I feel much more organized.
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!

I love to swim. When I jump in the water, I feel like I'm 12 years old again. It's really funny how it does that to me.

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.

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.

I enjoyed every bit of my swimming career. I think that's the most important advice - to enjoy what you do
