The Women's Sports Foundation holds a unique position in developing opportunities for girls and women of all abilities to be active whether recreationally or competitively, and I'm excited to help lead the organization to impact even more lives. It i...
I look at myself, and how much I've gotten just because I play a sport well.
I think it is easier for thinner people to build on a frame once you get lean muscle. I get bored lifting weights at the gym, and it isn't enough as your body becomes stiff. So I train in different ways such as core training, cardio with weights, pla...
Of course, in our grade school, in those days, there were no organized sports at all. We just went out and ran around the school yard for recess.
We may train or peek for a certain race, but running is a lifetime sport.
It was probably right after I made my comeback - after retiring post-2008 Olympics - when I finally felt more at ease with my body. Being away from the sport helped put things in perspective.
Baseball is a man maker.
I started, actually, in journalism when I was - well. I started at the 'New York Times' when I was 18 years old, actually, but really got into journalism when I was 15 years old and had started a sports magazine which was trying to become a national ...

On a selfish basis, I really enjoy sports and activity.
I did everything - I did newscasts, I did sports, I did dramas.
When I was young, I never thought I was going to be a writer! I was academically orientated and active at sports, but I didn't have one creative bone in my body.
The Olympic Games are highly commercialised. They purport to follow the traditions of an ancient athletics competition, but today it is the commercial aspect that is most apparent. I have seen how, through sport, cities and corporations compete again...
I never really did sports growing up. Maybe that's why they intrigue me. The technology that goes into that clothing is steps ahead, so it's always been something I look towards.
I put so much pressure on myself to be perfect. Between homework and sports and drama and being social, I slept about four hours a night through high school and college.
I want to stay involved in sports in one way or another.
Skating is one of those sports you unfortunately see people get stuck in.
People don't want to watch a sport where you see people fall down and somehow score above someone who goes clean.
The commercialization of sport is the democratization of sport.
