"You are getting up and running your 80 to 90 mile weeks because you are writing the history of yourself, making your own legend. Now your successes and failures ... may only be remembered and relived in your own mind over the years, or among the fairly small number of athletes who will follow you at your school if you do well enough to leave a legacy that will grab their attention after you have left, but the size of the audience isn’t that important. What is important is that we each have but one go around on this planet and the worst thing you can do is waste it sitting around watching others do, a mere spectator alone. Life is about getting up each morning and seeing what you want down the road. So get in that morning run, fight to the death in that race, hit on that girl and do it all with the knowledge that you are always writing the story of yourself and you are the damn star so you better live like a star. No problem being a fan along the way as well, God knows I am! but just make sure you are LIVING too!"
