I love the communication aspect with my athletes. I like the one on one time with my athletes but really its about making them better athletes and finding out what makes them tick.

It seems everyday I find a new road, a new person that can help my cycling better and help me understand more things. I compare cycling to life often.

I love watching people improve it is a natural thing for me to do.

I love to see people succeed in their goals.

I think racing is a sport that either your in or your out. Its either you are with the pack or you are off the pack.

There are tons of ways women can get into the sport easly. I think it is not as intimidating as many people think it is.

As much as I love coaching the masters, junior cycling is obviously the future of our sport.

You really have to get to know the person's mental state. You have to understand what drives them and what motivates them.

Seeing someone have a goal and I if can help them to succeed then it is a big draw for me.

I try to find more education in the sport while helping people who are trying to be better at whatever they are trying to achieve. That is probably the thing I love most about coaching.

Cycling is a sport of amazing athletes. Its been a privilege and a honor for me to be in this sport and to have a chance to race at the highest level.

A good place to begin, is to forgive yourself for judging in the first place.

You know you're old when you're watching Karate Kid and you realize you're more attracted to Mr. Miagi than Ralph Macchio.

In the film business, it's basically honor among thieves.

Haters...are all failures. It's 100% across the board. No one who is truly brilliant at anything is a hater.

The true measure of leadership is influence - nothing more, nothing less.

Prayer no longer seems like an activity to me; it has become the continuing language of the relationship I believe God designed to fulfill a human life.

I feel intimidated by fashion.

Women only love those that they don’t know.

Hold fast then to this sound and wholesome rule of life; indulge the body only as far as is needful for health.

My diary entries allow me to keep track of all the things I would like to change about my life.
