What we talk about

• “You’ve got to make exercise look fun—if you make it look like an ordeal, they’re not going to want to get on board.”

• “Anyone who tells me I can’t do something, that’s just like an open invitation—I’m a red rag to a bull sort of person.”

• “At the end of the day, what do I want from them? I want kids who are happy to be active, lifelong athletes who are healthy and believe they can do this for the rest of their lives.”
