“At some point sport doesn’t become team, it actually becomes family. It really is a united kind of feeling to come together to sweat, train and work hard for a goal and then be able to do that goal together creates that beautiful kind of team spirit and camaraderie that you can’t share in the office space or in daily life and that’s the beauty of what sport does.”

“We see people this year we saw in Torino, and we see them at other places and you start to see people again. Compete against people and you become friends over a period of time.”

“Having been out of it now for a decade, I needed a goal.”
