Quotes of 1977

Quotes taken from the authors in 1977

Maybe some people can wake up and play PlayStation all day, but that's never been me

I don't want to wake up and be bored. That's probably my greatest fear is to have nothing to do. What better job is there than to play quarterback for an NFL team, and certainly one that I've been on for a long time and had success with? I don't plan on giving it up any time soon.

You never get over losses. I've never gotten over one loss I've had in my career. They always stick with me.

People want to go out and travel around and meet cool people. I could just go live in Vermont, but is that what I really want?

I've had just about everything punched. I've had things grabbed that just shouldn't be grapped.

My team has been very unreceptive about the fact that I consistently show them that I train slightly differently than they do, that I consistently show them that I am in better shape for ski racing than anyone else on the team.

I went through a period at boarding school when my coaches wanted me to switch to snowboarding because they thought I was no good at skiing. I was too skinny. I had terrible technique. They were saying I should be a snowboarder, and luckily, I resisted.

It does matter that it's the Olympics. I just did it my way. I'm not a martyr, and I'm not a do-gooder. I just want to go out and rock. And man, I rocked here.

But there was no question in my mind that I was gonna still go for it. I was still going for the win. I wasn't skiing for second or third place today, and in the end I think that's probably what got me there.

People want athletes to cater to their image of what an athlete should be, but they also want them to fail so they can feel like their screwups are all right. If I make a priority shift, I'll make it because it's best for me.

There's nothing like overcoming something that scares you so much. Nothing feels better.

Laura Wilkinson

I want to do my hard dives really well, I want to see what my true potential in this sport really is. I want to grasp that.

Laura Wilkinson

There are a lot of eating disorders in our sport, so I try very hard not to get consumed by all that.

Laura Wilkinson

Fear has been a big battle, it runs rampant in my sport so I love to overcome that, to challenge it head on, because there is nothing that feels as accomplished as overcoming a fear, and something that has blocked you in such a big way.

Laura Wilkinson

I was vegetarian for a long time, and in the last four years I started eating chicken and fish. I feel like it really built up my strength a lot.

Laura Wilkinson

I don't want to be put on a pedestal. I want to be known as a nice and normal person, but my skills are a little more excelled.

Misty May Treanor

I didn't want to stop before my time was up.

Misty May Treanor

I'm stronger than I think I am. Mentally, physically.

Misty May Treanor

I didn't think I'd be going for another Olympics.

Misty May Treanor

I want to go out on my terms.
