Florence Griffith Joyner

I've always overworked in the weight room. I love working with weights. I knew they'd give me the strength I needed.

That's what I'd like to do on the President's Council. Make sports and athletics available to every youth in America, not just one day a week like it was for me, but every day.

I couldn't wait until I grew up. I used to look at my mom's stockings and put them on with her high heels and mess with my hair.

I love working with kids, talking with them and listening to them. I always encourage kids to reach beyond their dreams. Don't try to be like me. Be better than me.

A muscle is like a car. If you want it to run well early in the morning, you have to warm it up.
