I train with track athletes, which is weird for bobsledders. I love training with track athletes because they help me work on my speed, and they give me something to cheer for during the Summer Olympics.
Quote by -Elana Meyers
Biggest rival is Kaillie Humphries of Canada, and we are actually training partners. She was at my wedding, and I consider her a close friend.
Quote by -Elana Meyers
I'm a representative of something that's greater than myself. I'm not just representing myself or my country: I'm representing Christ and what He's done through me.
Quote by -Elana Meyers
My father was an NFL running back, so I feel like I might be more susceptible, genetically, to CTE.
Quote by -Elana Meyers
Even though concussions affect women more often than men, there's not a lot of concussion research about women specifically. You can slip and fall and hit your head and have a concussion. And unless you know what to do, and unless you're able to take the right steps, you may not be able to recover.
Quote by -Elana Meyers
There is a stigma in our sport that men are the better drivers. People think that, because the men compete in two-man and four-man, they are more versatile and that the women aren't great drivers.
Quote by -Elana Meyers
I think the hardest thing is that all of us would love to just stick to sports - but if you want us to be role models to kids, then you need to stand for more than just sports.
Quote by -Elana Meyers
It's a challenge, but every single German or Canadian I want to beat, I still have to love them. That means competing the way God wants me to compete and helping my opponents if they have a need.
Quote by -Elana Meyers
My father's NFL dreams never really felt like motivation to me, but it was something to aspire to. He was such a great athlete, the least I could do is try and use my athletic talent to represent my country in a different way. He represented as a Marine. Maybe I could do something to represent as an athlete.
Quote by -Elana Meyers
If I'm honest, the thing I remember the most was the team mascot, Freddie the Falcon. I really remember there was a McDonald's nearby, and I remember eating a cheeseburger in the playground when the Falcon appeared. I'm not sure my dad appreciates that being my favorite memory of him playing.
Quote by -Elana Meyers
Our sport is one of the few on the winter side that is so diverse. It shows we don't have to be limited by race or gender or whatever and how far we have come as a sport.
Quote by -Elana Meyers
Being a minority athlete in this sport, it's been wrought with challenges, but I wouldn't consider myself a trail blazer.
Quote by -Elana Meyers
We're a sport that was in obscurity for so long, we started to get used to that.
Quote by -Elana Meyers
You get this feeling in bobsled, like a combination of excitement, anxiety, and pure nervousness, and you get that combination only very few times.
Quote by -Elana Meyers
The first run in a four-man sled was one of the most nerve-wracking I've had in my life.
Quote by -Elana Meyers
Make new mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody’s ever made before.
Quote by -Neil Gaiman
“Where the road sloped upward beyond the trees, I sat and looked toward the building where Naoko lived. It was easy to tell which room was hers. All I had to do was find the one window toward the back where a faint light trembled. I focused on that point of light for a long, long time. It made me think of something like the final throb of a soul's dying embers. I wanted to cup my hands over what was left and keep it alive. I went on watching the way Jay Gatsby watched that tiny light on the opposite shore night after night.”
Quote by -John Donne
“Where I went in my travels, it's impossible for me to recall. I remember the sights and sounds and smells clearly enough, but the names of the towns are gone, as well as any sense of the order in which I traveled from place to place.”
Quote by -John Donne
“But it has finally hit me: she is neither a concept nor a symbol nor a metaphor. She actually exists: she has warm flesh and a spirit that moves. I never should have lost sight of that warmth and that movement.”
Quote by -John Donne
“Adventures are all very well in their place, but there's a lot to be said for regular meals and freedom from pain.”
Quote by -Neil Gaiman
Everything is possible, from angels to demons to economists and politicians.
Quote by -Paulo Coelho
All I do is work hard. Try and work on my bowling and keep improving every day. That's the key to success at the international level and in tournaments like the IPL.
