Every year there are athletes that move up the ranks of inspiring female athletes. Each time there is a new Olympics or a marathon trials, I start looking for more female athlete quotes. I think it’s important for women to see other women pushing boundaries and achieving great things.
People often lament that there aren’t enough strong female role models.

They likely aren’t getting as much attention, the same PR opportunities and of course if they pose shirtless it’s a national crisis compared to the annual firefighter calendar.

And so, I hope in this list of female athlete quotes, you find something that lights a little fire in you today.
