character games personality
I've always liked game shows - the competitive aspect and the character-driven personalities you see.
athlete work-out schedules
I've been an athlete most of my life and on a disciplined schedule. Working out for me is just part of my every day.
sports dad father
If it wasn't for my sport and my father, I'd probably be a fallen statistic. I'd be dead; I'd be in jail. Luckily, I had a great dad in my life.
school marketing international-business
In school I studied international business and marketing, so I've always been attracted to business.
sports athlete careers
Every Olympic athlete prepares differently. For me, I am 100 percent into the sport. And if I decide to really make a crucial career decision to say, 'This is something I want to do,' I want to leave no stone unturned in my preparation.
home eggs oil
I am a believer in nutrient timing and supplementation, through 8Zone. I love eggs, apples, wild fish, leafy greens, brown rice, pasta, oatmeal, home grown Washington Potatoes, and cooking with coconut and olive oils.
eye phones text-messaging
I can look into someone's eyes and feel like I know her better, versus a phone call, where you can't get that same type of emotion. That's why text messaging gets you in trouble: You can't bond, and emoticons explain only so much.
positivity winning journey
If I have given my all and still do not win, I haven't lost. Others might remember winning or losing; I remember the journey.
positivity bitterness moments
You can't dwell on what happened. You can't live even a moment stewing in bitterness.
today be-your-best
Did you do every single thing you could today, to be your best?
father grandmother japan
My father is 100% Japanese and came to the United States when he was only 18 years old. My grandmother still resides in Japan, which has allowed me to travel to the roots of my ancestors with my father.
hard-work successful sacrifice
We all naturally want to become successful... we also want to take shortcuts. And it's easy to do so, but you can never take away the effort of hard work and discipline and sacrifice.
tired racing want
When there's somebody racing side-by-side, when somebody's right next to me and they're pushing and we're both tired, we're both fatigued, I want to be able to beat them mentally.
father believe path
I believe my father has and always will be the strongest influence in my life, as he has guided me on many paths.
