I Think To Be - For Me

Every Day Is Different And Every Day Brings Something More Exciting.

I Have The Opportunity To Be Part Of Swimming History. To Take The Sport To A New Level Would Be An Honor For Me. There's No Better Time To Try This Than Now.

My Little Son Is Already Like Me - My Mom Has Always Said I Used To Bounce Off The Wall And Never Stop Talking Or Sit Still. I'm Starting To See That With Him. I Guess It's Living Proof He's Part Of Me.

I Have Had Extreme Ups And Downs. The Biggest Thing I Learned After I Broke My Wrist Is To Never Give Up. Nothing In Life Will Ever Come Easy. It Depends On How You Deal With Those Obstacles And How You Overcome Those Obstacles. If You Can Overcome Them, You're A Stronger Person. If You Make Mistakes Along The Way, As Long As You Never Make That Same Mistake Again, You're A Successful Person.

Other Nights ... I Visualize To The Point That I Know Exactly What I Want To Do: Dive, Glide, Stroke, Flip, Reach The Wall, Hit The Split Time To The Hundredth, Then Swim Back Again For As Many Times As I Need To Finish The Race.
