“I want to show girls you don't have to be a certain size to be <strong class="highlight">beautifulstrong>. You can be strong and muscular and still be <strong class="highlight">beautifulstrong>.”

“It's not about being the best, it's about being better than you were yesterday.”

“Hard work is always going to be rewarding.”

“Every day is a new opportunity. You can build on yesterday's success or put its failures behind and start over again. That's the way life is, with a new game every day, and that's the way you should see it.”

“I’m a very determined person.”

“Go after what you want, but be prepared to work for it.”

“You just have to be yourself and go full with confidence and be proud of this is who I am.”

“I don’t call it a comeback. I call it a return. A return to the sport I love, to the sport I’ve missed.”

“Failure is not the opposite of success; it's part of success.”

“Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.”

“You have to be confident in yourself and believe in your abilities.”

“I’ve learned that it’s all about the process and the journey, not the destination.”
