You have to be able to be a good loser. You have to be okay knowing you're going to fail every day in something without getting mad and upset.

There is nothing better than having a personal-best day, being in shape and pushing myself beyond my own limits.

And there is such a thing as a decathlon high. It's like a rock rolling down hill, picking up momentum. You get better and better.

I got interested in decathlon because a coach that I had was a big fan of Bruce Jenner, and he just saw the ability in me - but when it came down to it, I knew my best chance at a college scholarship would be in track and field.

The decathlon includes ten separate events and they all matter. You can't work on just one of them.

We'll probably only consider a handful of individuals. We'll bring up people who can accumulate either innings or at-bats, so we can hopefully gauge where they stand as a prospective Major Leaguer.
