You have to be able to be a good loser. You have to be okay knowing you're going to fail every day in something without getting mad and upset.
From Dan O'Brien
If you never give up, you'll be successful.
Through everything I've gone through- and I've been everywhere, at the top of the world, in jail, hung over drunk - I never gave up my dream of winning a gold medal in the Olympics.
As a young child, I was never a crier. I never cried to get my way, or even when I was in pain.
Take pride in exactly what it is you do and remember it's okay to fail as long as you don't give up.
I think what my parents did was perfect. They were strict, concerned about my safety and held me back just a little.
When I was little, I wasn't allowed to put sugar on my breakfast cereal because it made me so hyper.
As a young athlete, it was first about having fun; then it was about winning.
The decathlon includes ten separate events and they all matter. You can't work on just one of them.
You need to become more than one type of athlete. You have to be a sprinter, a weight man and a distance guy all in one.
