An athlete may not know what they're putting in their body.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
An athlete's diet is a complicated thing.
But I like to think an athlete is an athlete.
Some coaches are not educated at the elite level in health and nutrition. They're not educated in how the body works from anatomy and physiology perspectives.
When you look at athletes, they have fundamentals.
I'm not the perfect model of what an athlete should be, mentally or physically.
I don't really take into account what the media says. People have their own opinions about what goes on, but they don't see what goes on behind the scenes with an athlete and their preparation.
I think no athlete wants to end his career on an injury.
I think the two most important parts of any athlete's workouts are his leg workouts and his core training.
The athlete of today is not an athlete alone. He's the center of a team - doctors, scientists, coaches, agents and so on.
Being an athlete, you know how to train and prepare your body for a performance and you're able to do it under pressure.
