fun real places-to-go
How many times do you take yourself to the brink of complete collapse? It's not a real fun place to go.
fun issues people
It's kind of fun to hear that other people deal with the same kinds of issues that you do.
let-me decathlon
I'm competitive. I like to compete, and that's basically what the decathlon lets me do.
movement excited
I'm excited to be a part of the Olympic movement again.
people training shapes
I've been telling people I'm in the best shape of my life, I've been training unbelievably hard.
morning knowing wake-up
It's not easy waking up every single morning knowing what you're going to put your body through and having to do it. We don't have days off.
six wake-up hours
I train six to seven hours every single day. I wake up six days a week and know that it's going to be the same thing.
believe mean thinking
I think to actually be an Olympian to me means that you've trained most of your life, or you've dedicated most of your life or a big chunk of your life into doing something that you believe that you can accomplish.
thinking decathlon
I don't think anyone chooses the decathlon as much as it chooses you.
motivation winning long
For so long I wanted to win the gold medal.Then I won. I had to figure out what was the new motivation to take myself to that place again.
world needs records
Breaking the world record has always been in the works. I just need the right conditions and I can make it.
lying events ten
We have to lie to ourselves as decathletes and say that we like all ten events.
steps tough push-yourself
You take yourself to a place where you've got absolutely nothing left and then you find out you have to push yourself one more step. That's a tough place to be in.
golf hiking fishing
I like golf, hiking, camping, boating and fishing.
