I was always very independent and looked out for myself. I think that ability really helped me in later years both in sports and in theatre.
I do, have done and always will believe that I am very capable of performing and thriving at any level of the sport.
My son has taken liking for sports and is most of the time playing cricket and football. It is so much fun being with them, as I'm enjoying every phase of motherhood.
I am so fidgety - I swear I have ADD - and I always need to be doing something or being outside, just playing sports.
As an athlete, you choose your sport and are drawn into it but your passion should never be driven by fame and fortune but a desire to create something special that people will always remember.
I look at athletes in all sports and try to picture what kind of football player they'd be, what position they'd play and so on.
If they asked me, I did two shifts. I did sports, I did news, because I loved it.
Sports are my favorite. It's the first thing I turn to every day.
We all know that girls who compete in sports perform better in school, are physically healthier and have a stronger self-esteem.
That's one thing you learn in sports. You don't give up; you fight to the finish.
I have strong interests in supporting sport, primarily football, and also in developing cultural relationships within national communities and their diasporas, with special reference to Ethiopia.
If I see someone doing a new sport, I usually like to throw myself into it, and I never look at it and think, 'That's something I can't do.'
A lot of these angles are really about trying to mimic broadcast sports angles in order to anchor the scene, to sort of normalize it before it becomes abstracted.
I played baseball up until my freshman year of high school. That was my main sport. I played third base.
I'm glad you're doing this story on us and not on the WNBA. We're so much prettier than all the other women in sports.
The ultimate would be to compete in a couple more Olympics, hopefully break some world records and wind up my sports career with a couple of years in the WNBA.
I think it puts baseball back on the map as a sport. It's America's pastime and just look at everyone coming out to the ballpark. It has been an exciting year.
I think that people who have played sports have an ability to relate to people because when you're playing you have to work on teams and with opposing players.
I long for the days when athletes were revered. I want to see the romance return to sports, to see people enjoy the game purely for the game and the players.
Drama is played at the pace of chess... or billiards... or poker. Engrossing? Sure. But comedy is played at the jubilant, high-octane speed of sports like basketball or hockey.
Just because we are in wheelchairs doesn't mean we can't play a fast-paced, full-contact sport.
