Paige Spiranac : (4) " The ability to act as a role model shouldn’t depend on owning a pile of trophies. Instead, we should look at role models as whole people – people who fail but overcome adversity, people who inspire us both on and off the course, people who spend their time trying to make their community a better place. " - Paige Spiranac " It’s only when we stop looking exclusively to the podium for our heroes and start looking all around us that we’ll make the greatest progress toward a better tomorrow. " - Paige Spiranac " For me, working with kids is one of my favorite ways to give back, and I refuse to let public opinion about whether I’m a ‘winner’ stop me from being a positive role model and mentor. " - Paige Spiranac " I actually was a competitive gymnast for the first part of my life. From age 6 to 12, I dedicated pretty much everything to that, until I got injured really badly.
