You must realize one thing. In every little village in the world there are great potential champions who only need motivation, development and good exercise evaluation.

If you want to be a successful runner, you have to consider everything. It's no good just thinking about endurance and not to develop fine speed.

Encourage kids to enjoy running and play in athletics. Don't force them to run too much competition.

They're very tenacious. They're dedicated. Once a woman decides she's going to do something, she'll probably stick to it. The only problem with women is if there's anything wrong with them, they won't tell you. They'll get out there and run on one leg. They don't moan and groan like a lot of men do.

My most frequent admonition to athletes and coaches is: train, do not strain.

It's just a matter of understanding what's necessary and discipline yourself to do it.

Champions are everywhere, you just have to train them properly
