So far, my goals stops at making an Olympic team, and then if that happens, then I'll jot down more goals.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My goals were last year to win the world champs and this year to win the Olympic Games and I've done that and I couldn't be happier.
After the 2013 World Championships, I had three goals for the Olympics: to swim 3:56 or better in the 400-meter freestyle, break 8:05 in the 800, and win gold in the 200. I achieved all of those, and soon, it will be time to set some new goals.
My dream was always to win in the Olympic Games, but I never set that next goal, and I have realised now I need to set another goal.
That's pretty rewarding in itself coming from where I started. Obviously the next goal for me is to make the Olympic team.
Goal setting will never stop. I will continue to work hard and practice hard and see where things go.
I feel like the thing that motivates me is not making the Olympic team. If I'm having a rough day, I think about how bad I want it.
My goal is one Olympic gold medal. Not many people in this world can say, 'I'm an Olympic gold medalist.'
I have a lot of expectations and a lot of goals I want to fulfill, but the biggest dream is still to make the Olympic team for London.
I have some really lofty goals that don't even scratch upon the Olympics.
My goal is to win a gold medal at the Olympic Games, and I'll fight and continue going until I do that.
