Where does the name “No Excuses Unlimited” come from?
In 1995, the athletes of the team were struggling due to the challenges of life while training and racing for a team which did not provide financial support.
When they were told that a non-profit entity was being organized to raise funds for them, the response was:
“If we get funding, there are no excuses not to be the best in the world.” The athletes requested the organization be named No Excuses Unlimited.
