I've got some genetic gifts.

Love can overcome everything.

Hopefully America will forgive me.

Bobsledding is an expensive sport.

The Lord calls us to love everybody.

In Sochi, I felt like I lost a gold.

The things I've had to overcome have been crazy.

Oh my gosh, cheat meals I could go on and on about.

Bobsledders are big athletes, and I'm a big athlete.

A guy like Usain Bolt would be sick behind a bobsled.

I feel like sport can transcend a lot of different things.

I've been on every type of nutrition plan you can think of.

I am powered by the defeat in Sochi, as I am by all my defeats.

I'll do whatever I need to do to bring more athletes to the sport.

I've always been the type willing to try a lot of different things.

The more eyeballs there are on the sport, it will get more diverse.

I'm a squat person: I love squats. I love back squats, things like that.

Find your passion, set a goal, go to work, evaluate, reassess, and repeat.

I was always encouraged to participate in whatever sports I wanted to be in.

We're a sport that was in obscurity for so long, we started to get used to that.

My favorite thing about South Korea is the people - they are so kind and helpful.

I want to represent my color and ethnicity. To be proud of our heritages is really cool.

Bobsled is best for athletes who are fast and strong, which were my strengths in softball.

Bobsleigh is best for athletes who are fast and strong, which were my strengths in softball.

Bobsled is a universal sport, and most people don't know that. Anybody can slide down a hill.

My father was an NFL running back, so I feel like I might be more susceptible, genetically, to CTE.

Regardless of what you look like, regardless of where you come from, you can be involved in winter sports.

I was a shortstop in softball, and a lot of times I had collisions with base runners coming in, so I definitely have scars.

After the situation I had with my concussion in 2015, how long and lasting the effects were, I'm just more careful about it.

I'm E Money because I'm money when it counts. Not sure exactly where or when it started, but I was called it in softball, too.

Making the transition from softball to bobsleigh was difficult, but my family and friends believed in me when no one else would.
