I'm very hard on myself. Sometimes too hard on myself. When I lost in the Wimbledon finals, I was so sad, I cried. I had the runner-up trophy! It's still a great accomplishment, but I was so mad.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I am one of those athletes who is very hard on myself.
To cry on court during a Wimbledon final, you must feel so lonely.
When I got my tour card I cried. When I got my first win - and my first pay check - I cried. All these things make me cry.
In all kinds of ways, I used to be really, really hard on myself.
Winning a gold medal is not easy but I believed in myself, especially over the last four years.
When I lost my decathlon world record I took it like a man. I only cried for ten hours.
I almost never cry, and it's something I don't like about myself. I sometimes try and make myself cry. Sometimes, when I'm in pain, I say if I could just cry it would make it so much easier.
I felt sad because everyday I had to wake up early to practice before going to school. After school I had to go back to tennis again, and then after tennis I had homework. I didn't have time to play.
In my life I've gone through a lot of really hard times. I went through depression and had so many challenges that I overcame. And I overcame because I just decided to be happy.
I cried when I found out I was a finalist, I kind of went limp when they called my name. I felt like my spirit jumped out of my body, and I was just flesh - it was just amazing.
