Quotes

- ** "Discipline among women is not up to the required standards, she says. The high turnover of women athletes is because they end up in marriage with non-athletes."
- ** "In most cases, those married to non-athletes find it hard to balance family obligations with the rigorous athletics demands. They must lose one, and in most cases it is their athletics career.”
