Memorable Quotes:

"If getting sick really was a make-it-or-break-it thing, there'd be no one in good shape. There'd be no one who's achieved success because everyone gets sick at some point or another."

"Sleep is the number one thing that is going to make the biggest difference when it comes to your healing. If there is ever a time to sacrifice your sleep, it is not when you are sick or not when you are injured."

"Your mindset really is everything. You control everything with your perspective on what's happening to you and on how you respond to what's happening to you. And usually when something knocks us off track, whether it is a sickness, whether it's a vacation, a holiday, whatever it is, it's because we lose that focus, we lose that momentum."
