#olympic team

I didn't train to make the Olympic team until 1968. I simply trained for the moment. I never even imagined I would be an Olympic athlete. It always seemed to evolve. ↗

When you're on the Olympic team at 15, you don't do anything else. There's no normal social development, and your decisions are made for you. ↗

My greatest honour was to be included in the Australian Olympic team in 1992, 1996 and hopefully 2000. ↗

My training has been going really well these past few days and my goal is to keep it up for the next few weeks and hopefully earn a spot on the U.S. Olympic team. ↗

I set my sights on making an Olympic team, not realizing how tough it was going to be. ↗

The women of the Senate are like the U.S. Olympic team: we come in different sizes, but we sure are united in our determination to do the best for our country! ↗

I remember when I went to try out for the Olympic team in 1972, Coach Iba told me he didn't care how many points I could score because if I couldn't guard anybody, I wasn't going to make the team. I knew to make the team I had to become a better defender. If you can play offense, you can defend. It just comes down to competitive will. ↗

I really feel like that concept of enjoying the now and not worrying about the future is what my coach has been trying to teach me for 14 years - and that is what has made me such a different athlete 10 years later, and that is what has made me strong enough mentally to make this Olympic team. ↗

I have a lot of expectations and a lot of goals I want to fulfill, but the biggest dream is still to make the Olympic team for London. ↗

If I had tried the Olympics any younger, I wouldn't have been as prepared as I am right now. But there are definitely a ton of juniors out there, all around the world and in the USA, that if there was no age limit, they could definitely make the Olympic team. ↗
