“It was not long after participating in my first track meet in junior high that I became interested in human motion. There was something exciting about running faster than the guy in the lane next to you, something intriguing about how to do it. Sport, after all, is engaging. I slowly became interested in the “science” of sports and exercise, in a crude sort of way. After all, as a teenager, it was not as if I was studying lactate threshold or running kinematics. This romantic notion of how the human body’s performance may be improved by perfecting its physiology has led me to places I probably never would have been to otherwise, including a small, rural, college town in Pennsylvania named State College, an Olympic city in Canada, a railroad and limestone town in Indiana, and the high desert of Albuquerque, New Mexico.”

"Do not stop to think about the reasons
for what you are doing, about why you are questioning. Curiosity has its
own reason for existence. One cannot help but be in awe when he
contemplates the mysteries of eternity of life, of the marvelous structure of
reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this
mystery each day. Never lose a holy curiosity."
