Growth

You don't overcome challenges by making them smaller but by making yourself bigger.

Racing teaches us to challenge ourselves. It teaches us to push beyond where we thought we could go.

You have to forget your last marathon before you try another. Your mind can't know what's coming.

I think the dignity of the athlete will have to replace the pliancy of the child.

Success isn't how far you got, but the distance you traveled from where you started.

The man who can drive himself further once the effort gets painful is the man who will win.

You've got to want to do it for yourself.

Age is no barrier. It's a limitation you put on your mind.

I tell kids to pursue their hoop dreams, but I tell them to be realistic. I say, 'Aim high, but don't aim so high that you totally miss the target.'

The only person who can stop you from reaching your goals is you.

Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat, and go on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday.

Winning isn't getting ahead of others. It's getting ahead of yourself.

The road to athletic greatness is not marked by perfection, but by the ability to constantly overcome adversity and failure.

Don't put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the further you get.

To achieve greatness, start where you are, use what you have, do what you can.

Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.

Victory is about being the best you can be. Your best is always within your reach.

To uncover your true potential you must first find your own limits and then you have to have the courage to blow past them.

The person who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare.
