“Throughout a competitive career, you can certainly lose yourself tryin...” — Tessa Virtue Quote

Throughout a competitive career, you can certainly lose yourself trying to please the judges.

Obviously, I've reaped the benefits of sport and activity. But not many girls, as it turns out, even have the resources available to them to be physically active or to maintain that as they go through high school.

To be held back by fear is to miss out on challenging yourself in different ways.

You're never going to regret working out or being active. You might regret not doing it, you might regret pressing that snooze button, but you'll never regret getting physically active.

For athletes, it is unhealthy to be one-sport focused, especially at a young age. I believe in exposing kids to lots of activities - there are great advantages to being a well-rounded athlete and human, no matter the field of play.

As a driver, your target is always to be with the most competitive team possible.

You get around people who see us away from the track, and it's a pretty big contrast. You're still competitive, and you still want to win everything, but I think in the car, we're focused and passionate all the time. We get outside the car, and we're a lot more relaxed and easygoing, enjoying things away from racing.

Sometimes I can be misunderstood. I'm really competitive.

I've been competitive since day one. Even in little things as a child, like having a twin and a direct competitor for who makes better cookies.
