line:85% position:40% size:75% I CAN'T SAY I EVER APPRECIATED line:85% position:24% size:58% THAT BUT THE ORCHESTRA.
line:85% position:50% size:80% YOU'RE RIGHT, WE DIDN'T HAVE THE line:85% position:29% size:65% RESTAURANTS MAYBE THAT YOU line:85% position:33% size:70% MENTIONED EARLIER, BUT THOSE line:85% position:17% size:43% HAVE COME AROUND.

line:85% position:33% size:70% SO, YOU KNOW, I KNEW I HAD A line:85% position:50% size:80% GOOD THING AND I LOVED BERKELEY, line:85% position:33% size:70% BUT I WAS SO EXCITED TO COME line:85% position:19% size:48% BACK HERE AND JUST, line:85% position:44% size:78% UNFORTUNATELY FELL IF LOVE WITH line:85% position:50% size:80% A GUY WHO, WHOSE JOB WASN'T HERE line:85% position:50% size:80% SO I HAVE BEEN GONE FOR 24 YEARS line:85% position:24% size:58% AND I LOVE COMING BACK.
line:85% position:31% size:68% EVERY TIME I'M BACK HERE, I line:85% position:40% size:75% THINK I DON'T KNOW WHY I DON'T line:85% position:33% size:70% COME MORE OFTEN SO I'LL MAKE line:85% position:14% size:30% THAT EFFORT.
line:85% position:40% size:75% MY KIDS ARE NOW COLLEGE OUT OF line:85% position:40% size:75% THE NEST AND I'LL START MAKING line:85% position:21% size:53% THAT EFFORT FOR SURE.
line:85% position:50% size:80% >> WHAT HABIT-- WHAT HAS IT BEEN line:85% position:20% size:50% LIKE WATCHING KELSI.
line:85% position:50% size:80% >> IT HAS BEEN A JOY WORKING THE line:85% position:44% size:78% LAST TWO DAYS WITH KELSI, DOING line:85% position:31% size:68% THE INTERVIEWS WE HAVE BEEN line:85% position:12% size:15% DOING.
line:85% position:50% size:80% SHUT YOUR EARS BECAUSE YOU MIGHT line:85% position:33% size:70% GET A BIG HEAD BUT SHE IS SO line:85% position:21% size:53% DARLING TO WORK WITH.
line:85% position:50% size:80% AND AS A FORMER ATHLETE WHO PEAK line:85% position:27% size:63% ED AT THE AGE OF 16 AND I line:85% position:44% size:78% WON A LOT AFTER THAT, BUT NEVER line:85% position:36% size:73% GOT FASTER IN MY TIMES, IT IS line:85% position:36% size:73% SUCH A JOY TO TALK TO SOMEONE line:85% position:40% size:75% WHO IS STILL IMPROVING AND SHE line:85% position:50% size:80% SWAM IN A MEET THIS PAST WEEKEND line:85% position:50% size:80% AND BEAT MY TIME THAT I EVER DID line:85% position:15% size:33% , NON-RESTED.
line:85% position:21% size:53% SHE IS-- THE 200 FLY.
line:85% position:36% size:73% LET'S NOT GET TECHNICAL HERE.
line:85% position:25% size:60% THEY WOULDN'T KNOW THAT.
line:85% position:15% size:33% BUT ANYWAY... line:85% position:21% size:53% >> THE COACHES WOULD.
line:85% position:44% size:78% >> BUT ANYWAY, I WILL BE ONE OF line:85% position:27% size:63% THE KELSI'S BIGGEST CHEER line:85% position:50% size:80% LEADERS FROM HERE ON OUT BECAUSE line:85% position:50% size:80% I HAVE ENJOYED SPENDING THE LAST line:85% position:18% size:45% TWO DAYS WITH HER.
line:85% position:44% size:78% >> IT'S ABOUT YOUR RECORDS THAT line:85% position:16% size:38% ARE INCREDIBLE.
line:85% position:50% size:80% YOU BROKE YOUR FIRST RECORD, NOT line:85% position:40% size:75% THE BIG ONES BUT THE FIRST ONE line:85% position:44% size:78% WHEN YOU WERE 14, EIGHTH GRADE.
line:85% position:31% size:68% I TRIED TO THINK WHAT I WAS line:85% position:22% size:55% DOING IN EIGHTH GRADE.
line:85% position:13% size:25% [LAUGHTER] line:85% position:22% size:55% NOTHING CLOSE TO THAT.
line:85% position:24% size:58% I MEAN IT'S INCREDIBLE.
line:85% position:44% size:78% WITH SWIMMING, YOU KNOW HOW THE line:85% position:15% size:35% PROCESS WORKS.
line:85% position:22% size:55% IT'S TRULY INCREDIBLE.
line:85% position:40% size:75% AND THEN TO HAVE THAT ONE SWIM line:85% position:33% size:70% MEET IN WISCONSIN IN 1981, I line:85% position:44% size:78% MEAN, DO YOU EVEN REMEMBER THAT line:85% position:50% size:80% DAY WHEN YOU BROKE BOTH OF THOSE line:85% position:29% size:65% RECORDS, WHAT IT WAS LIKE?
line:85% position:17% size:43% >> I ACTUALLY DO.
line:85% position:40% size:75% I MEAN BECAUSE I REMEMBER JUST line:85% position:27% size:63% FEELING REALLY GOOD AND I line:85% position:40% size:75% REMEMBER DOING A SPRINT 25 AND line:85% position:36% size:73% MY COACH BILL PEEK LOOKING AT line:85% position:44% size:78% HIS WATCH AND LOOKING AT ME AND line:85% position:21% size:53% LOOKING AT HIS WATCH.
line:85% position:25% size:60% I SAID WHAT DOES IT SAY?
line:85% position:40% size:75% HE SAID I THINK YOU NEED TO DO line:85% position:13% size:23% IT AGAIN.
line:85% position:27% size:63% IT JUST, THINGS JUST CAME line:85% position:44% size:78% TOGETHER AND I THINK IT WAS THE line:85% position:40% size:75% TRAINING FROM 1980 AND THEN IN line:85% position:50% size:80% AFTER WE BOYCOTTED, I WASN'T, AS line:85% position:29% size:65% I SAID, THERE WERE TIMES I line:85% position:50% size:80% WASN'T SURE I WANTED TO CONTINUE line:85% position:13% size:23% SWIMMING.
line:85% position:40% size:75% I THOUGHT I MIGHT WANT TO PLAY line:85% position:44% size:78% OTHER SPORTS, SO I ONLY TRAINED line:85% position:50% size:80% ONCE A DAY FOR MOST OF THAT YEAR line:85% position:50% size:80% IN THE SUMMER I WENT BACK TO TWO line:85% position:31% size:68% ADAYS AND IT JUST FELL INTO line:85% position:12% size:15% PLACE.
line:85% position:40% size:75% I THINK EMOTIONALLY I WAS AT A line:85% position:14% size:28% GOOD PLACE.
line:85% position:50% size:80% PHYSICALLY I WAS AT A GOOD PLACE line:85% position:40% size:75% AND IT ALL JUST CAME TOGETHER.
line:85% position:36% size:73% BUT I'LL TELL YOU, TALK ABOUT line:85% position:15% size:33% EIGHTH GRADE.
line:85% position:50% size:80% I SUBSTITUTE TAUGHT EIGHTH GRADE line:85% position:24% size:58% FOR SIX WEEKS ONE TIME.
line:85% position:50% size:80% LET ME TELL YOU, NOW I GET WHY I line:85% position:15% size:33% WAS SO NAIVE.
line:85% position:44% size:78% WHY I DIDN'T NECESSARILY HANDLE line:85% position:40% size:75% EVERYTHING IDEALLY AFTER I SET line:85% position:17% size:43% THE WORLD RECORD.
line:85% position:24% size:58% >> AT THE TIME IT FEELS line:85% position:40% size:75% COMPLETELY NORMAL AND YOU LOOK line:85% position:27% size:63% BACK AND YOU'RE GOING NO.
line:85% position:15% size:33% THAT WAS NOT.
line:85% position:40% size:75% THE YOUNG PEOPLE IN THE CROWD, line:85% position:44% size:78% THEY MAY NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED line:85% position:40% size:75% IN 1980 WHEN THE UNITED STATES line:85% position:31% size:68% DID NOT GO TO THE OLYMPICS.
line:85% position:40% size:75% SO WHAT IS THAT LIKE, WHEN YOU line:85% position:25% size:60% ARE TRAINING SO HARD AND line:85% position:27% size:63% SUDDENLY IT'S OUT OF YOUR line:85% position:50% size:80% CONTROL SOMEONE SAYS YEAH, WE'RE line:85% position:44% size:78% JUST GOING TO SIT THIS ONE OUT.
line:85% position:44% size:78% WE ARE JUST NOT GOING TO DO IT.
line:85% position:50% size:80% WHAT GOES THROUGH YOUR MIND WHEN line:85% position:22% size:55% YOU GET TO THAT POINT?
line:85% position:44% size:78% >> WELL KELSI MENTIONED GETTING line:85% position:40% size:75% HURT BEFORE A COUPLE BIG MEETS line:85% position:44% size:78% AND YOU KNOW, SHE PROBABLY FELT line:85% position:19% size:48% THE SAME INJUSTICE.
line:85% position:33% size:70% I HAVE TO ADMIT I WAS REALLY line:85% position:44% size:78% YOUNG AND I DIDN'T GROW UP WANT line:85% position:29% size:65% ING TO GO TO THE OLYMPICS.
line:85% position:50% size:80% I MEAN I JUST DIDN'T KNOW REALLY line:85% position:50% size:80% ABOUT OLYMPICS AND SWIMMING IS A line:85% position:50% size:80% VERY OBJECTIVE SPORT SO YOU SWIM line:85% position:50% size:80% A CERTAIN SPEED, YOU GET INVITED line:85% position:19% size:48% TO GO TO THIS MEET.
line:85% position:44% size:78% YOU SWIM A CERTAIN MEET AND YOU line:85% position:20% size:50% GO TO THE NEXT MEET.
line:85% position:44% size:78% SO I WAS JUST FOLLOWING WHAT MY line:85% position:50% size:80% COACHES WERE TELLING ME AND PULL line:85% position:13% size:25% ING ME TO.
line:85% position:36% size:73% SO I MEAN AN EMBELLISHMENT IN line:85% position:50% size:80% 197 WHEN I SET THE WORLD RECORD.
line:85% position:36% size:73% MY COACH SAID THERE IS A MEET line:85% position:36% size:73% NEXT YEAR CALLED THE OLYMPICS line:85% position:36% size:73% THAT WE PROBABLY SHOULD TRAIN line:85% position:11% size:10% FOR.
line:85% position:33% size:70% SO IT JUST HELPED THAT I WAS line:85% position:50% size:80% ONLY 15, SO WHEN WE BOYCOTTED, I line:85% position:44% size:78% WAS BUMMED THAT IT WAS GOING TO line:85% position:50% size:80% BE MY CHANCE TO SWIM AGAINST THE line:85% position:18% size:45% BEST IN THE WORLD.
line:85% position:44% size:78% I HAD MISSED THE PREVIOUS WORLD line:85% position:50% size:80% CHAMPIONSHIPS SO IT WAS GOING TO line:85% position:44% size:78% BE MY CHANCE TO WIN AGAINST THE line:85% position:40% size:75% BEST IN THE WORLD AND SO I WAS line:85% position:15% size:33% DISAPPOINTED.
line:85% position:36% size:73% BUT I WAS NOT DEVASTATED LIKE line:85% position:31% size:68% THE OTHER ATHLETES WHO WERE line:85% position:33% size:70% OLDER THAN ME WHO, YOU KNOW, line:85% position:36% size:73% JUST DIDN'T HAVE ANOTHER SHOT line:85% position:25% size:60% BECAUSE THERE WASN'T THE line:85% position:36% size:73% FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR THEM TO line:85% position:44% size:78% CONTINUE TRAINING AFTER COLLEGE line:85% position:50% size:80% OR WHO DID CONTINUE TO TRAIN AND line:85% position:27% size:63% THEN JUST COULDN'T PUT IT line:85% position:44% size:78% TOGETHER FOR ANOTHER FOUR YEARS line:85% position:40% size:75% AND THAT IS STILL DEVASTATING.
line:85% position:50% size:80% WHEN THE 80 TEAM HAS OUR REUNION line:85% position:21% size:53% S, IT IS DEVASTATING, line:85% position:27% size:63% THERE ARE STILL MANY THAT line:85% position:36% size:73% STRUGGLE WITH, YOU KNOW, JUST line:85% position:31% size:68% REALIZING OR MISSING, STILL line:85% position:25% size:60% MISSING OUT ON WHAT THEY line:85% position:14% size:30% COULDN'T DO.
line:85% position:44% size:78% >> I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT FEELING line:85% position:40% size:75% JUST WORKING SO HARD TO GET TO line:85% position:13% size:25% SOMETHING.
line:85% position:44% size:78% I MEAN MARY MENTIONED INJURIES.
line:85% position:20% size:50% I MEAN IT'S SIMILAR.
line:85% position:33% size:70% I WORK SO HARD AND ONE THING line:85% position:22% size:55% HAPPENS AND THAT'S IT.
line:85% position:36% size:73% >> WITH MY INJURIES, I WASN'T line:85% position:44% size:78% AUTOMATICALLY THE NUMBER ONE OR line:85% position:14% size:28% NUMBER TWO.
line:85% position:40% size:75% I WAS HOPING TO HAVE A SHOT AT line:85% position:40% size:75% COMPETING WITH THE BEST IN THE line:85% position:50% size:80% COUNTRY AND NEVER REALLY HAD ANY line:85% position:44% size:78% INJURIES GROWING UP AND LIKE WE line:85% position:31% size:68% SAID, WE'RE ATHLETES AND WE line:85% position:27% size:63% DIDN'T WANT TO TRIP AND I line:85% position:40% size:75% LITERALLY TRIPPED AND SPRAINED line:85% position:13% size:23% MY ANKLE.
line:85% position:40% size:75% I LEARNED AFTER THAT, I NEEDED line:85% position:50% size:80% TO KEEP BOTH FEET ON THE GROUND.
line:85% position:29% size:65% AND THE NEXT SUMMER WORKED line:85% position:44% size:78% REALLY HARD TO PAY MY RENT, THE line:85% position:40% size:75% REALITY OF BEING IN COLLEGE ON line:85% position:40% size:75% YOUR OWN AND HAD MONO BEFORE A line:85% position:44% size:78% BIG NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP MEET.
line:85% position:33% size:70% I'VE LEARNED, TOO, TO REST A line:85% position:50% size:80% LITTLE BIT MORE AND TAKE CARE OF line:85% position:31% size:68% MYSELF AND SO EVEN THOUGH I line:85% position:40% size:75% DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO EARN A line:85% position:36% size:73% SPOT ON THE NATIONAL TEAMS, I line:85% position:36% size:73% LEARNED FROM THOSE AND GOT TO line:85% position:36% size:73% SPEND TIME WITH MY FAMILY AND line:85% position:36% size:73% THAT WAS REALLY IMPORTANT, AS line:85% position:11% size:13% WELL.
line:85% position:50% size:80% ALL LITTLE LESSONS I CARRY IN MY line:85% position:13% size:23% TOOL BOX.
line:85% position:33% size:70% >> ONE OF THE COOLEST THINGS line:85% position:36% size:73% WITH SWIMMING AND THE OLYMPIC line:85% position:40% size:75% SPORTS IS YOU GET TO TRAVEL SO line:85% position:11% size:13% MUCH.
line:85% position:50% size:80% YOU GET TO SEE SO MANY DIFFERENT line:85% position:33% size:70% PLACES, DIFFERENT COUNTRIES, line:85% position:19% size:48% PARTS OF THE WORLD.
line:85% position:50% size:80% WHETHER IT BE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP line:85% position:16% size:38% S, PAN AMS LIKE line:85% position:36% size:73% WE'VE TALKED ABOUT, OLYMPICS, line:85% position:36% size:73% HOW MUCH FUN IS THAT FOR YOU?
line:85% position:18% size:45% LIKE GOING TO RIO?
line:85% position:50% size:80% PROBABLY A PART OF THE WORLD YOU line:85% position:33% size:70% NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT YOU line:85% position:22% size:55% WOULD GO TO OTHERWISE.
line:85% position:44% size:78% WHAT IS IT LIKE WHEN YOU GET TO line:85% position:29% size:65% GO SEE THESE OTHER PLACES.
line:85% position:15% size:33% >> ADVENTURE.
line:85% position:50% size:80% THE FOOD IS NOT ALWAYS THE SAME.
line:85% position:29% size:65% I KNOW WE TALK ABOUT FOOD.
line:85% position:14% size:28% >> SHE HAS.
line:85% position:31% size:68% SHE TALKS ABOUT FOOD A LOT.
line:85% position:18% size:45% >> IT'S IMPORTANT.
line:85% position:44% size:78% YOU WANT TO LIKE FEEL YOUR BODY line:85% position:29% size:65% -- FUEL YOUR BODY WITH THE line:85% position:50% size:80% BEST YOU CAN IN ORDER TO COMPETE line:85% position:18% size:45% AT THE BEST LEVEL.
line:85% position:44% size:78% WE GOT DOWN TO RIO AND THE FOOD line:85% position:36% size:73% WASN'T LABELED AND WE WEREN'T line:85% position:44% size:78% SURE WHAT WE WERE EATING, IF IT line:85% position:40% size:75% WAS CLEANED OR WASHED BUT THEY line:85% position:44% size:78% DID A REAL GOOD JOB HOSTING AND line:85% position:44% size:78% WE GOT TO SEE A LOT OF THE COOL line:85% position:33% size:70% SITES, AND SOME OF THE MEETS line:85% position:50% size:80% I'VE BEEN TO IN ASIA, ILLITERATE line:85% position:27% size:63% RALLY COULD HAVE BEEN-- I line:85% position:27% size:63% LITERALLY COULD HAVE BEEN line:85% position:44% size:78% ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD BECAUSE I line:85% position:50% size:80% SAW THE POOL, THE AIRPORT AND MY line:85% position:11% size:13% ROOM.
line:85% position:50% size:80% LAST SUMMER WAS REALLY FUN GOING line:85% position:50% size:80% TO CROATIA FOR TRAINING AND THEN line:85% position:18% size:45% GOING TO BUDAPEST.
line:85% position:40% size:75% THAT WAS THE MOST I GOT TO SEE line:85% position:13% size:23% PROBABLY.
line:85% position:31% size:68% >> AND COOL PLACES FOR YOU.
line:85% position:40% size:75% >> AND YEAH, BUT THAT'S ONE OF line:85% position:50% size:80% THE NEGATIVE SIDES OF DOING WHAT line:85% position:29% size:65% I DID AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE.
line:85% position:44% size:78% I DIDN'T HAVE THE APPRECIATION.
line:85% position:44% size:78% SO I GET ENVIOUS OF THESE OLDER line:85% position:40% size:75% ATHLETES WHO REALLY UNDERSTAND line:85% position:40% size:75% HOW SPECIAL IT IS TO, NOT JUST line:85% position:36% size:73% BE A PART OF THE OLYMPIC TEAM line:85% position:40% size:75% BUT THEY'RE EXPERIENCING OTHER line:85% position:12% size:18% PLACES.
line:85% position:36% size:73% SO, YES, I DID GET TO GO TO A line:85% position:36% size:73% LOT OF PLACES BUT IT WAS MORE line:85% position:22% size:55% THE AIRPORT, YOU KNOW, line:85% position:36% size:73% EVERYTHING SET UP FOR YOU AND line:85% position:36% size:73% ONCE AGAIN I'M JUST THAT DUCK line:85% position:20% size:50% FOLLOWING MAMA DUCK.
line:85% position:36% size:73% SO I DIDN'T APPRECIATE IT AND line:85% position:50% size:80% THOSE, THAT'S ONE OF MY REGRETS.
line:85% position:44% size:78% AT THE END OF MY CAREER I START line:85% position:27% size:63% ED GOING, MAYBE I'LL TAKE line:85% position:40% size:75% TIME TO GO SEE THE LOUVRE WHEN line:85% position:50% size:80% WE'RE IN PARIS BUT THAT WAS JUST line:85% position:44% size:78% THE LAST COUPLE OF TRIPS THAT I line:85% position:13% size:20% WENT ON.
line:85% position:36% size:73% >> I MEAN IT SEEMS LIKE THERE line:85% position:40% size:75% ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT ELEMENTS line:85% position:44% size:78% THAT THE GO INTO WHEN YOU GO TO line:85% position:50% size:80% THESE COMPETITIONS THAT THE SWIM line:85% position:29% size:65% MING IS WHAT'S NATURAL AND line:85% position:36% size:73% WHAT YOU ALL ARE THERE TO DO.
line:85% position:29% size:65% BUT ALL THE OUTSIDE NOISE.
line:85% position:40% size:75% I MEAN AND I THINK WE ALL DEAL line:85% position:31% size:68% WITH THIS IN LIFE, THERE IS line:85% position:21% size:53% ALWAYS OUTSIDE NOISE.
line:85% position:44% size:78% WHEN YOU ARE AT THAT LEVEL, HOW line:85% position:50% size:80% DO YOU FOCUS ON YOURSELF WITHOUT line:85% position:13% size:25% EXPLODING?
line:85% position:25% size:60% DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
line:85% position:50% size:80% HOW DO YOU JUST STAY CALM WITHIN line:85% position:44% size:78% YOURSELVES BUT STAY THAT DIALED line:85% position:11% size:8% IN?
line:85% position:31% size:68% >> IT'S REALLY CHALLENGING, line:85% position:50% size:80% ESPECIALLY WITH SOCIAL MEDIA NOW line:85% position:40% size:75% AND I OFTEN HAVE TO LOG OUT OF line:85% position:50% size:80% MY ACCOUNTS JUST REALLY SURROUND line:85% position:50% size:80% MYSELF WITH MORE POSITIVE THINGS line:85% position:14% size:28% , YOU KNOW.

line:85% position:40% size:75% WHAT IS IT ABOUT FAITH THAT IS line:85% position:29% size:65% SO ESSENTIAL TO YOUR LIFE?
line:85% position:36% size:73% >> TO ME IT'S JUST THAT GOAL, line:85% position:44% size:78% IT'S HIGHER THAN ANYTHING HERE.
line:85% position:36% size:73% SO NO MATTER THE INJUSTICE OR line:85% position:44% size:78% TRAVESTY OR THE DISAPPOINTMENT, line:85% position:44% size:78% EVEN SUCCESS, IT'S ALL, IT PUTS line:85% position:50% size:80% EVERYTHING IN PERSPECTIVE FOR ME line:85% position:50% size:80% AND, YEAH, I'M JUST REALLY LUCKY line:85% position:40% size:75% BECAUSE DURING THE GOOD TIMES, line:85% position:25% size:60% YOU KNOW, IT'S GREAT BUT line:85% position:31% size:68% DEFINITELY DURING THE TOUGH line:85% position:22% size:55% TIMES, THE LOSSES, THE line:85% position:36% size:73% TRANSITION TO REGULAR LIFE, I line:85% position:36% size:73% THINK I SUCCESSFULLY DID THAT line:85% position:40% size:75% BECAUSE MY PARENTS REALLY MADE line:85% position:27% size:63% SURE THAT I ALWAYS HAD MY line:85% position:20% size:50% PRIORITIES STRAIGHT.
line:85% position:44% size:78% EVEN THOUGH I DIDN'T SPEND MORE line:85% position:50% size:80% TIME IN CHURCH THAN I DID IN THE line:85% position:44% size:78% WATER, I KNEW WHEN PUSH CAME TO line:85% position:25% size:60% SHOVE, WHAT WAS THE MOST line:85% position:13% size:25% IMPORTANT.
line:85% position:21% size:53% >> HOW ABOUT FOR YOU?
line:85% position:50% size:80% >> I GREW UP IN A CHRISTIAN HOME line:85% position:13% size:20% AS WELL.
line:85% position:36% size:73% AND WHEN IT WAS TIME TO GO TO line:85% position:31% size:68% COLLEGE, I KNEW THAT IT WAS line:85% position:50% size:80% SOMETHING THAT IT WAS A DECISION line:85% position:22% size:55% I MADE ON MY OWN, TOO.
line:85% position:36% size:73% IT WASN'T JUST WHAT MY FAMILY line:85% position:11% size:10% DID.
line:85% position:44% size:78% IT IS WHAT I WANTED TO CONTINUE line:85% position:36% size:73% TO PURSUE AND SURROUND MYSELF line:85% position:50% size:80% WITH PEOPLE THAT WOULD ENCOURAGE line:85% position:29% size:65% ME TO GROW IN MY FAITH AND line:85% position:44% size:78% LOUISVILLE IS A GREAT PLACE FOR line:85% position:13% size:25% THAT, TOO.
line:85% position:36% size:73% WE HAVE SOME GREAT CHURCH AND line:85% position:36% size:73% GREAT COMMUNITIES AROUND HERE line:85% position:44% size:78% AND SO I REALLY SEE MY SWIMMING line:85% position:19% size:48% AS A GIFT FROM GOD.
line:85% position:50% size:80% AND I KNOW THAT IF I MAKE A TEAM line:85% position:36% size:73% OR NOT, LIKE IT'S GOD'S WILL.
line:85% position:27% size:63% IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER.
line:85% position:27% size:63% I KNOW I'M GOING TO SPEND line:85% position:44% size:78% ETERNITY SO THAT'S WHAT MATTERS line:85% position:17% size:40% IN THE LONG RUN.
line:85% position:50% size:80% >> DOES IT HELP WITH THE CALMING line:85% position:13% size:23% PRESENCE?
line:85% position:50% size:80% DOES IT REALLY HELP KIND OF, YOU line:85% position:21% size:53% MENTIONED PRIORITIES.
line:85% position:22% size:55% HOW ABOUT PERSPECTIVE?
line:85% position:31% size:68% DOES IT HELP KEEP THINGS IN line:85% position:12% size:15% BERPT?
line:85% position:15% size:35% >> ABSOLUTELY.
line:85% position:22% size:55% -- HELP KEEP THINGS IN line:85% position:14% size:30% PERSPECTIVE?
line:85% position:15% size:35% >> ABSOLUTELY.
line:85% position:36% size:73% >> I'M DISAPPOINTED IT DIDN'T line:85% position:19% size:48% BRING ME MORE CALM.
line:85% position:44% size:78% THERE WERE TIMES I WERE PRAYING line:85% position:36% size:73% AND IT WASN'T WORKING AND I'M line:85% position:13% size:25% LIKE DARN.
line:85% position:33% size:70% BUT I THINK FOR ME, I HAD TO line:85% position:40% size:75% FIXATE ON SOMETHING LITTLE AND line:85% position:25% size:60% IT WAS USUALLY MY START.
line:85% position:40% size:75% I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS BUT I line:85% position:50% size:80% DIDN'T ALWAYS HAVE A GREAT START line:85% position:36% size:73% AND WHEN I COULDN'T SLEEP OR, line:85% position:29% size:65% YOU KNOW, I WAS NERVOUS OR line:85% position:40% size:75% WHATEVER, I JUST KEPT THINKING line:85% position:36% size:73% I'M GOING TO NAIL THAT START.
line:85% position:36% size:73% I'M GOING TO NAIL THAT START.
line:85% position:44% size:78% AND IF I FIXATED, BECAME OCD ON line:85% position:40% size:75% THAT START, IT ALLOWED 9 OTHER line:85% position:33% size:70% THINGS MAYBE TO FALL MORE IN line:85% position:12% size:15% PLACE.
line:85% position:22% size:55% >> ONE THING I FIND SO line:85% position:50% size:80% INTERESTING ABOUT THE TWO OF YOU line:85% position:33% size:70% IS AND YOU ARE TWO DIFFERENT line:85% position:44% size:78% GENERATIONS OF SWIMMING AND YOU line:85% position:50% size:80% WERE ON THE FOREFRONT OF REALLY, line:85% position:33% size:70% THE BEGINNING OF U.S.
FEMALE line:85% position:44% size:78% ATHLETES KIND OF TAKING CHARGE.
line:85% position:50% size:80% AND THEN LAST OLYMPICS THE WOMEN line:85% position:50% size:80% WERE JUST INCREDIBLE, MORE MEDAL line:85% position:31% size:68% S THAN THE MEN, JUST I FEEL line:85% position:40% size:75% LIKE EVERY TIME I WAS WATCHING line:85% position:44% size:78% AN OLYMPIC EVENT, I AU.S.
WOMAN line:85% position:22% size:55% WAS WINNING SOMETHING.
line:85% position:36% size:73% SO MARY, FOR YOU, WHAT WAS IT line:85% position:33% size:70% LIKE KIND OF BEING, YOU WERE line:85% position:50% size:80% VERY YOUNG, SO IT WAS DIFFERENT.
line:85% position:33% size:70% BUT BEING IN THAT FIRST, THE line:85% position:18% size:45% BEGINNING OF THIS?
line:85% position:44% size:78% LIKE THE BEGINNING OF TITLE IX, line:85% position:50% size:80% THE BEGINNING OF ALL OF THAT AND line:85% position:44% size:78% SEEING HOW IT HAS PROGRESSED TO line:85% position:40% size:75% WHERE THE U.S.
FEMALE ATHLETES line:85% position:13% size:20% ARE NOW?
line:85% position:50% size:80% >> I'M NOT APPRECIATED AMONG THE line:85% position:20% size:50% TITLE IX PROPONENTS.
line:85% position:44% size:78% I HAVE ALWAYS HAD CONCERNS AND, line:85% position:44% size:78% YOU KNOW, SO I HAVE BEEN VERY-- line:85% position:31% size:68% I'M A PROUD FEMALE ATHLETE.
line:85% position:44% size:78% I THINK PROBABLY MY PERSPECTIVE line:85% position:29% size:65% COMES FROM BEING ONE OF 11 line:85% position:40% size:75% CHILDREN THERE, WERE 10 GIRLS.
line:85% position:36% size:73% I THINK MY DAD JUST RAISED US line:85% position:36% size:73% ALL TO BE GO GETTERS AND AND, line:85% position:36% size:73% YOU KNOW, HE NEVER-- WELL, WE line:85% position:44% size:78% DID HAVE TO CLEAR THE TABLE AND line:85% position:29% size:65% DO THE DISHES EVERY NIGHT.
line:85% position:24% size:58% THAT WAS THE GIRLS JOB.
line:85% position:50% size:80% BUT I MEAN HE JUST-- I HAD A LOT line:85% position:50% size:80% OF ACCOMPLISHED SISTERS AND SO I line:85% position:36% size:73% JUST THINK IT CAME FROM THAT.
line:85% position:31% size:68% SO I JUST-- I STRUGGLE WITH line:85% position:44% size:78% QUOTAS AND I STRUGGLE WITH SOME line:85% position:12% size:18% THINGS.
line:85% position:44% size:78% SO ANYWAY, I GET-- PEOPLE SHAKE line:85% position:33% size:70% THEIR FINGER AT ME SOMETIMES line:85% position:50% size:80% WHEN I DON'T SAY WHAT THEY WOULD line:85% position:19% size:48% LIKE FOR ME TO SAY.
line:85% position:14% size:28% >> ME, TOO.
line:85% position:36% size:73% IT IS SOMETHING THAT COULD BE line:85% position:31% size:68% TWEAKED OR WORKED BECAUSE I line:85% position:50% size:80% DON'T THINK THAT THE POINT OF IT line:85% position:33% size:70% IS TO MINIMIZE MILL ATHLETES line:85% position:44% size:78% IT'S TO EMPOWER WOMEN ATHLETES.
line:85% position:36% size:73% >> I FEEL SORRY FOR SOME MALE line:85% position:33% size:70% PROGRAMS THAT WERE AT A VERY line:85% position:50% size:80% UCLA THERE ARE SO MANY MALE SWIM line:85% position:31% size:68% MING PROGRAMS THAT WERE CUT line:85% position:50% size:80% AND I REALLY STRUGGLED WITH THAT line:85% position:44% size:78% AND I DON'T EVEN HAVE A SON YET line:85% position:36% size:73% I DON'T MEAN TO GET POLITICAL line:85% position:44% size:78% AND I UNDERSTAND AND APPRECIATE line:85% position:29% size:65% THAT THERE IS SO MUCH MORE line:85% position:44% size:78% OPPORTUNITY FOR FEMALE ATHLETES line:85% position:31% size:68% SO I DO GET THE GOOD OF IT.
line:85% position:50% size:80% >> AND TO SEE HOW THEY PERFORMED line:85% position:19% size:48% , KELSI WAS PART OF line:85% position:11% size:13% THAT.
