I'm not maximized yet.

The thing I like about decathlon is also the thing I dislike: It's the maximum challenge, but also the maximum frustration.

The desire definitely comes from within. There are only a few people who make it to this level and those are the ones who have that innate desire.

I'm not maximized yet.

I want to see where I measure up against everyone in the world and everyone who has ever competed in the sport, and there's that innate sense of wanting to challenge myself. I'm competitive in all aspects.

There's never going to be a decathlon that you're going to have 10 events that your satisfied with. You're always, always going to be dissatisfied in something, and that always draws you back to try to retry that the next time you do a decathlon. It's like you go for the perfect 10.

To do the best that I possibly could in my world makes me pretty happy.
