Maybe there's a little girl who thinks she can be an Olympic athlete, and she sees all the things I struggled through to get here.

I always wanted to be a professional athlete, it just took me a while to realise it would be in racing. I played field hockey competitively for Ontario since I was 13, 14.

I wasn't a jock in school, and by the 10th grade, when I was in boarding school I was carrying water buckets for the girls' hockey team.

I was not an athlete past the age of 13 or 14 when they start throwing the ball really fast. -- Michael Weatherly
