In Response To: Re: favorite sports quote? (Tim Carter)

When I was training for the Masters World Championships in Hungary last year I was burnt out. I was tired, sore, and hurt all over. I went to say hello to my friend Mario Leblanc, who in the early 1970's had won a medal at the Commonwealth Games. He listened to me complain about how hard training was and then looked me right in the eye and said "Never give up Owen, never, never, never, never, never give up". Those few simple words of encouragement helped me to get back my determination and not to give up hope. Thank you Mario Leblanc.
