I don't need to scare the other athletes. When I'm running, I will scare them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Every day I run scared. That's the only way I can stay ahead.
I think I scare people. I really have to watch myself.
Many track and field people know that if I stay relaxed and run my race like I'm supposed to, I will be the winner at the Olympic Games.
I started out doing triathlons because they terrified me! I'm a good swimmer, I learned to ride a bike in college, and I hate running. It seemed like something I could never do, so I decided, 'I'm gonna do it.'
I need that fear factor in training; otherwise, I might get beat by someone I should never lose against, all because I couldn't get up in the morning.
I tend to think you're fearless when you recognize why you should be scared of things, but do them anyway.
Most athletes get intimidated once they see how many fans are out there, but it almost calms me down in a way because I think of it as a fun way to show off what I've been working on.
I don't fear anyone. We don't come to play in this sport.
I always tell people that our sports aren't that dangerous.
Fearlessness is like a muscle. I know from my own life that the more I exercise it the more natural it becomes to not let my fears run me.
