It's so hard to look at someone doing a triple cork when you're 7 years old, and them saying, 'I want to go do that.' It's not really relatable at all. So, if I can somehow make it so kids want to get into snowboarding, that's special.
When golf used to be a rich man's sport, if you were poor you could not step foot on a course.
For players from every age and every ability, the USTA National Campus will raise the bar on how we deliver tennis with the goal of making our great sport more accessible to more people than ever before.
Anybody can be a runner... We were meant to move. We were meant to run. It's the easiest sport.
Obviously, I've reaped the benefits of sport and activity. But not many girls, as it turns out, even have the resources available to them to be physically active or to maintain that as they go through high school.
Just because we are in wheelchairs doesn't mean we can't play a fast-paced, full-contact sport.
People want sport that they can go on an afternoon and watch with their kids.
The commercialization of sport is the democratization of sport.
Usually, the great thing about cycling is that anybody can watch it; it's very accessible.
I assume the only reason we have them is so that white people feel relevant in sports. Because other than that the only thing the winter Olympics show me is which country has more rich white kids. What's it cost to go skiing - $900 a day? I can't believe that's not more popular in the inner cities.
The beautiful thing about cycling is that it is so accessible and that pleased me when I was younger because you felt like you could almost touch the athletes.
Whereas there's more of a learning curb with MMA, kickboxing is pretty easy to understand and has no geographical boundaries.
I love this sport, and I want people to have the opportunities that I have. I want the kid in the inner city to know that she can be a bobsledder one day, and I want the kid in the middle of Africa to know that she can be a bobsledder one day. So the more that we can go out there and grow the sport, the better.
I was quite fat as a kid. And swimming is a sport you can enjoy whatever size you are. If you're fat, running is a pain. I'm not really built for running.
