You learn more doing than doing training.

It's all to do with the training: you can do a lot if you're properly trained.

Obviously, the difference between a game and actual training is you're using your whole body, so in that sense, maybe not, although maybe something to do with reaction, the speed of reaction, maybe that was of use during the training.

Training is a universal right. It's not just targeted at those with the worst skill levels.

In the sports arena I would say there is nothing like training and preparation. You have to train your mind as much as your body.

The more versatile you make yourself, the more work you get. Training makes you more versatile and ultimately gets you more work. Julliard taught me that.

Of course, when you're training your whole life to get to the Olympics, you train for gold.

Training hasn't been consistent for the last week or so which was a bit annoying, but going into the competition I just had to get myself into the right mind frame.

No matter what I'm doing, I'm training. I'm training every day and I think that's something I won't lose - no matter what I do, no matter what event I'm at, I always find a way to train. It's just something that I love to do.

An athlete who tells you the training is always easy and always fun simply hasn't been there. Goals can be elusive which makes the difficult journey all the more rewarding.
