- Friendships born on the field of athletic strife are the real gold of competition. Awards become corroded, friends gather no dust.
- The battles that count aren't the ones for gold medals. The struggles within yourself - the invisible, inevitable battles inside all of us - that's where it's at.
- We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort.

- A lifetime of training for just ten seconds.
