I've been training really hard this year, more than any other year. My mind was set on it, and after the first one, I just kept feeding off of it.
You'd be amazed at what I can do. Did you know I can swim?
I tapped him in the gut when I was walking over to the starting blocks. I'm just going to feed off this the rest of the meet because what I swam tonight was pretty fast for me.
I knew he was here tonight. I tapped him in the gut when I was walking over to the starting blocks.
It put me into a better racing dynamic.
Hopefully how the US did tonight will hype up everyone else and it will improve for tomorrow and Sunday. We'll see what happens.
I should have been much more responsible in how I handled myself and for that am sorry.
All you do is pull the pin, and it releases a startling alarm that can get you out of a bad situation.
I'm at a point where I'm ready to settle down. Every girl I meet, though, something wrong happens, and I end up getting hurt.
Every year before a big competition, I get hurt doing stuff I should not be doing. One year it was my little brother's 12th birthday. We all played hide-and-seek late at night. I climbed up a 30-foot tree, thinking he'd never catch me. I tripped and fell on one of the branches and I hit my head.
If I just swam all day, I'd lose it. That's why I do so many other activities. It keeps me sane.
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.
A player is someone - a guy - that messes with girls' emotions just to try and get what they want. I've been asked, 'Do you consider yourself a player?' And the answer is no. I don't think I'm anywhere near that.
If you’re a man at night, you’ve got to be a man in the morning.
