If you are not aiming to finish first, don’t show up. If you go in with the mind-set of finishing third, you’ll give a third-place performance. Success to me is about giving your all.

More quotes by Gail Devers

I would suggest to anyone who wants to do to move the blocks back to practise it first.

I’m a good starter, short, compact, powerful and explosive. I’m probably built for indoors.

When I look at what I've accomplished during my life thus far, I realize I've been truly blessed. Now I want to share my good fortune by passing it on and helping others. Then I'll consider myself a true champion.

But there's one thing I've learned during these challenging times - you can never give up or get down on yourself. A true champion keeps his or her chin up and always takes life one race at a time. This is how I keep focused on my goals and racing toward my dreams.
