I've Had Asthma My Entire Life.

When I Started Competing, You Had To Have Your Coach There. Now You Can Be Coached From A Home Office Via Skype Or Video. That's Not The Same As Having Them On The Field With You.

The Glory Of Sport Comes From Dedication, Determination And Desire. Achieving Success And Personal Glory In Athletics Has Less To Do With Wins And Losses Than It Does With Learning How To Prepare Yourself So That At The End Of The Day, Whether On The Track Or In The Office, You Know That There Was Nothing More You Could Have Done To Reach Your Ultimate Goal.

There Is Something About Seeing Myself Improve That Motivates And Excites Me.

All I Ever Wanted Really, And Continue To Want Out Of Life, Is To Give 100 Percent To Whatever I'm Doing And To Be Committed To Whatever I'm Doing And Then Let The Results Speak For Themselves. Also To Never Take Myself Or People For Granted And Always Be Thankful And Grateful To The People Who Helped Me.

My Denial And Irresponsible Attitude About Asthma Put Me At Great Risk And Caused Me So Much Needless Suffering. My Hope Is That The Kids I Talk To Learn To Open Up About Their Asthma, Become Educated About Their Condition, And Seek Help.
