You don't have to sacrifice who you are to follow your beliefs.
It's not necessarily size that matters, it's how fast you move that implement.
It's kind of fun to hear that other people deal with the same kinds of issues that you do.
Before the decathlon I'm constantly trying to convince myself that I want to do this, that I want to take myself to that place where it's going to hurt and things are going to be tough. But that's like anything - you want to give your best.
I'm competitive. I like to compete, and that's basically what the decathlon lets me do.
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.
