I work hard to improve myself as a person - as a father, as a husband, as a manager. I'm always on that mission.

The only one who can beat me is me.

One of the main techniques I used was focusing on the goal and visualising myself competing in the race before the race started.

Be who you are in every situation.

How could you look more stupid than to be the guy accepting a bronze medal in gold shoes?

Rivalries don't necessarily mean races being close at major championships. I had a rivalry with Butch Reynolds for many years. I won all the races, but Butch was the world record holder before I came into the sport, he was extremely talented and he was the only other man running 43 seconds.

You can't control what the other athlete is going to do; you can't control anything except for your competition and how you execute the race or how you execute the task.
