have spent a lifetime trying to share what it has meant to be a woman first in the world of sports so that other young women have

a chance to reach their dreams.”  

Wilma Rudolph

“Thinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one’s thoughts into action

is the most difficult thing in the world.”

“Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we

must do.”
