After my first day of competition I put on compression socks. They help me recover for the next day.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In most matters regarding apparel, I am a big fan of natural fibers - wool, cotton, and so on. Not when it comes to socks. An elastic fiber of some type is necessary.
I carry a golf ball to put under my feet when they get tight, and a Thera-Band for general stretching.
I sleep with my socks on sometimes.
If I need something, even a pair of socks, my assistant has to get them for me.
I come up with the silliest excuses when it's time to work out. I'll be like, 'Oh no! Now I have to go and find some socks.'
I haven't tucked a sock in my pants for three years.
Stretching was a major part of my preparation.
I can't wait to get home and wash all those socks.
The only thing I did is, I wore the same pair of socks in every decathlon I was ever in.
My back has been compressed and operated on, my feet have been surgically cut up, and I have a knee that's just going wacky. So I do my own driving, and I ski and skate. I'm playing hockey again. Anything that immobilizes my feet I'm OK with.
