I'm like a decathlete without the body.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Being a decathlete is like having ten girlfriends. You have to love them all, and you can't afford losing one.
To be with the other two-time gold medalists is great, but it's great to just be a decathlete.
I was a good decathlete until I got with a coach that really knew how to train specifically for the event... I'd really describe it as like being a juggler; you have ten balls and you're trying to get them all in the air at the same time.
You gotta have a body.
I don't weigh myself.
I just love playing so much, competing so much. You're able to put your losses behind you. One of the greatest attributes a decathlete can have is the ability to forget... to look ahead, not behind.
As a decathlete, you take pride in saying, 'The elements, I'm not going to let them affect me. It's just the 11th event. Another thing you have to fight through.'
I sometimes lament the fact that I do not have the benefit of a complete and ailment free body structure.
One of the most fantastic experiences I ever had was as a decathlete. I finished fifth in the nation my senior year of high school. I had no training or nothing.
I like how I feel when I am in shape. I don't go to a gym; I run.
