Unfortunately in sport it's either good or bad. You've got to take the highs and the lows.

You can learn more from the lows than the highs. The highs are great but the lows make you really look at things in a different way and want to improve. Every player will have both in their careers and I have, but what you get is that experience which is so important to perform at your best.

You don't get to the highest levels of the sport without having the basics in order.

And there is such a thing as a decathlon high. It's like a rock rolling down hill, picking up momentum. You get better and better.

Athletics at the highest level is a sport within a sport.

I play a lot of sports. I'm not real good at any of them. I'm above adequate.

My personal style has seen so many highs and lows. Probably more lows than highs.

If you wish to reach the highest, begin at the lowest.

You can't let the highs get too high and you can't let the lows get too low.

It's an individual sport; you want to do well for yourself.
