I want to be able to look back and say, `I`ve done everything I can, and I was successful.` I don`t want to look back and say I should have done this or that. I`d like to change things for the younger generation of swimmers coming along.
I think that everything is possible as long as you put your mind to it and you put the work and time into it. I think your mind really controls everything.
I have the opportunity to be part of swimming history. To take the sport to a new level would be an honor for me. There`s no better time to try this than now.
I have reached a place in my life where I need to sit down and say, `Well, what do I do? What`s best for me?` I need to look into options for the future.
