My goal to empower and inspire them comes from my own experience when I met Picabo Street,

my idol, when I was 9 years old.

// Those 2 minutes affected basically the trajectory of my entire life.

I, from then on, wanted to be an Olympian.

// And so I took that same mentality and tried to create that in my foundation where // I

hopefully can give them the same experience, where I'm inspiring them to follow their dreams,

and I'm also giving them the tools that they need to be able to accomplish that.

We have two-day empowerment camps.

And they're focused on different skill sets. // for example, goal-setting and self-confidence,

// also just creating good friendships and how that translates into social media and

bullying.

// We also have scholarships for enrichment programs, which can also then teach them those

skills as well.

I think the best advice I can give you is just to continue to work hard.

Set your goals high, but something that's attainable, and work backwards from there.

There are definitely steps that you need to take to get there.

// Just keep working, and everything will happen the way it's supposed to.

Billie Jean King has definitely been a woman that's inspired me.

I've been trying to compete against the men in a single race for the last five years now

// Jean obviously was an incredible inspiration and trendsetter.

She broke a lot of barriers and did a lot for women in sports.

So she is a huge inspiration to me.

And // we've recently talked about my ambition to race against men.

// she's such an amazing role model for me, even at the age of 33.

Dont'a Hightower's Girlfriend Morgan Is 'Home' With Her Man | Heavy.com

Dont'a Hightower is in Atlanta, Georgia, for tonight's Super Bowl.

He and his team, the New England Patriots, will be taking on the Los Angeles Rams in an epic showdown that is sure to keep fans of both teams on the edge of their seats.

Hightower, who was selected by the Patriots in the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft, will have the support of his longtime girlfriend, Morgan Hart.

As previously reported by Heavy, the two have been together for seven years and are so incredibly in love.

Before Hightower left for ATL, Hart shared a sweet photo of her and her man.

The pic was taken at an event a couple of weeks ago.

"Home," she captioned the shot, adding a red heart emoji.

The couple appeared to be standing in a restaurant and the background is blurred while Hightower and Hart are barely in focus.

The couple sweetly gazed into each other's eyes as someone captured the moment.

You can see the photo below. .

Fans were quick to comment on the post, sending love and support to the couple and to the NFLer, who is hoping to win his third Super Bowl with the Pats.

"You guys are soooo cute!!! Your man is gonna kill it in the Super Bowl.

GO PATS!!" wrote one Instagram user.

"Everyone should find someone who looks at them like you two look at each other," added another.

"Beautiful Morgan.

Good Luck in the SuperBowl Dont'a.

Here we go again," echoed a third.

Hart will undoubtedly be at Mercedes-Benz Stadium for tonight's game.

It's going to be a huge night for Hightower and his teammates and Hart will be cheering them on the whole way.

Interestingly, she didn't make it out to Kansas City for the AFC Championship game.

She did, however, watch the intense game, which kept her on the edge of her seat.

"Y'all ever watched a game that had you so far on the edge of your seat you ran out of actual 'seat'? Totally lost feeling in my bum but it's fine 'cause ATL WE COMINNNN'" she captioned a photo of herself sitting on a coffee table in front of the television.

If the Patriots are able to hold off the Rams, you will more than likely see Hart on the field with Hightower, finding her "home" in his arms in front of thousands of screaming fans.

If the Patriots don't earn the outcome that they are hoping for, the team will still be applauded for doing a great job and having an outstanding season.

Hart is so proud of Hightower and that will not change no matter who wins Super Bowl LIII.

"For the last seven years, I have been honored to sit front row & watch you live out your biggest dream.

I like to call it your magic, because every time I watch you work, both on the field and off, there's just no other word to describe what I'm seeing.

Playing in the NFL is not for the faint of heart.

With every new season our lives have been changed, sometimes in little ways, sometimes in big.

Your first 5 seasons were remarkable, to say the least, but what you've done in the last two has been far more significant.

I know in ways no one else ever could what it means to you, being here on the eve of this AFC championship game.

I know how you fought to get back here, & I know how long the road back has been.

An uphill road that, at times, grew steep enough to make timid souls turn back.

But you? You climbed it so admirably.

The critics were loud in their bets against you (#gopats) – but you, my love, have been louder.

& I have never, ever been more proud of you.

I love you.

NOW LET'S DO THIS!!!!" Hart captioned a pic of Hightower a couple of weeks ago.

Meghan Markle fans attack Piers Morgan for ridiculing banana messages to sex workers - Duration: 2:49.

Pregnant Meghan penned messages of support to sex workers on the pieces of fruit as she helped prepare food parcels for the women when she made an unannounced trip to charity One25 with Prince Harry

The 37-year-old drew hearts on bananas and wrote "You are strong", "You are special", "You are brave" and "You are loved" on the fruit

But Mr Morgan branded the move "one of the weirdest, most ridiculous things" he has seen a royal do

Writing on Twitter, the Good Morning Britain host said: "Why is Meghan Markle signing bananas for sex workers to 'empower them'? "This is one of the weirdest, most ridiculous things I have ever seen a member of the Royal Family do…" However, the tweet prompted an angry response from some of Mr Morgan's followers who rushed to defend the duchess

One said: "Because she has a good heart, she clearly sees sex workers as human beings and there is nothing wrong with reminding someone who needs such words of encouragement, she might just change someone's life with such a small gesture

Being nice is free." Another wrote: "Let it go. This is really sad if she is all you can talk about to be relevant

" A third said: "Yet if she'd given you time of day and invited you to wedding, you'd be saying how amazing she is for doing this

" One even told Mr Morgan to "get over being ghosted" by Meghan, writing: "I don't understand your desperate need to put her down

At least she's not judging these women. Get over being Ghosted by her !" But a number of others agreed with the outspoken breakfast host, with one saying: "I have to agree it's somewhat 'odd' - not within Royal protocol

" And another added: "I can't see the point in it either agree with piers." Speaking during the visit to the charity, which helps sex workers break free from prostitution, Meghan revealed she was inspired to leave messages in the food bags after learning about a similar gesture made for school children

She said: "I was thinking about this the other day. I saw this programme this woman had started in the States on a school lunch programme when on each of the bananas she wrote an affirmation or something to make the kids feel really empowered

"I thought it was the most incredible idea - this small gesture." Mr Morgan's tweet comes months after he accused Meghan of ghosting him when she met Harry

Mr Morgan insisted that he was "dumped like a sack of spuds" by Meghan in July 2016 when she met Harry, after becoming friends with her a year earlier when he followed her on Twitter

Writing in his Daily Mail column, the 53-year-old added that he had been left feeling "suspicious and cynical" of Meghan following the incident

Meghan Fashion - ITV Good Morning Britain: 'My moment has come' Piers Morgan MOCKS Meghan Markle on - Duration: 4:15.

Good Morning Britain journalist Piers Morgan, 53, has already given his opinion on the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle's latest royal engagement last week, which saw the 37-year-old sharing support for sex workers at a Bristol charity

The pregnant royal visited charity One25 with her husband the Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, and she assisted the staff in preparing food parcels for some of the women

The royal then shared a story she'd learned from a dinner lady in a US school who had chosen to write messages on the fruit for her pupils each day, before asking to try out the method with One25

Today on the ITV programme, Piers took things one step further when he began mimicking the Duchess for her actions

During a debate about the Duchess' decision, and the following criticism from some people about her using the moment as a publicity stunt, Piers declared: "Giving a sex worker a banana is clearly exposing her to potential mockery

"I'm sorry!" he said with a flourish. The debate continued on with Rebecca Reid and Annabel Giles, but Piers couldn't resist chiming in at every opportunity

"If you'd been advising Meghan Markle before this, would you have said maybe not the bananas?" he demanded

"I would say maybe tone it down a bit," one guest answered with a smile, but Piers ignored her

Mocking the Duchess, the journalist took on a high voice as he exclaimed: "Hand me my Sharpie, my moment has come

" The presenter's co-host Susanna Reid, 48, could barely stomach his cries, and she rapidly covered her face with her hands

"It's so patronising," Piers continued. "'You are strong,' come on!" In response to Rebecca commenting on supporters using their privilege to help the women, Piers continued to criticise the move

"You mean Meghan Markle is, she's living in a palace! You couldn't get any more privileged than that!" he sniped

As the conversation came to a close, Piers joked: "Anyway next time, ask me." "Otherwise…" he laughed, before the show switched to a pre-recorded message of him exclaiming "the world's gone bananas"

While some were in agreement with the presenter's comments, other viewers took to Twitter to support Meghan's choice

"Why can't we just accept that Meghan Markle tried to do a nice thing?!" one person posted

"I don't see why anyone should be offended, she was just trying to help send some positivity

"And has it not publicised the issue?! People need to get a grip there are more important things #gmb

" Another wrote: "Oh for goodness sake. leave Meghan alone. What a lovely gesture she made, positive messages, what an absolute waste of air time that was

#GMB" "Piers still butt-hurt over getting ghosted by Meghan I see… time to #Manup #GMB," a third said

Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV.
