I've been going to the same barber the last few years, and we have great chats whenever I'm in the chair. He'll ask: 'How you doing? How's the training going?' Just ordinary, obvious things, but then, like you do with your barber, you start talking about personal stuff.
From Adam Peaty
Before competition, I start to question things. I don't know why it happens, but you've got to control it so you don't get too far out of the race.
Not a lot of people get to go to the Olympics - especially with the chance I've got.
People make the mistake of thinking they've got to perform just because someone has said something about their potential.
What's the worst that could happen? You're going to come second or lose? It's not like someone has got a gun to your head.
I am only this successful because I'm so good at grounding myself.
For 100 m., you have to go out fast but also bring it back, so we've been doing a lot of work on the back-end speed.
When I represent Team GB, I never give less than 100 per cent. It is an absolute honour.
I was so scared of the water when I was little. I used to grab onto Mum's hand to get out of the pool. I did not even want to shower.
This medal goes to show that you don't always have to have the best facilities, the best organisation, the best of everything to achieve.
