We saw the integration of the female pilots in the Navy, in combat roles, and the resistance there in the beginning.

A lesson learned, both in the SEAL teams and as an entrepreneur, is that failure is sometimes a critical component of success.

Going through SEAL training taught me that it's OK to fall down three times, as long as you get up four. This is a good philosophy for most things in life.

I never shot much when I was a kid, but on the spotting scope, understanding the ballistics and the calculations, I'm a ten.

I come from great stock. I didn't come from money. My parents both worked really hard to keep food on the table and give my sister and me opportunities to play sports and see what we were good at.

My mum and dad are both sportspeople and know what's it all about. They know it's hard work, but they also know what it takes to become a professional athlete. I don't think - without their help, I wouldn't have got this far.

I had been a basketball fan growing up, and I felt that if we brought in the proper coach, and we played basketball the old fashioned way - where defense is paramount and offense involved movement off the ball and movement of the ball - we could build a winning team, and Chicago would respond to that.

I love sports. So if I was like a sports anchor or something like that. I would love to do that.
