I don't think I am a workaholic. I prefer to keep busy. It is better than the alternative.

Quite simply the Games are the biggest opportunity sport in this country has ever had. It is one that we must not squander.

All pressure is self-inflicted. It's what you make of it or how you let it rub off on you.

Nobody ever becomes an expert parent. But I think good parenting is about consistency. Its about being there at big moments, but its also just the consistency of decision making. And its routine.

I wouldn't have raced a horse. But you'll then throw back at me that Jesse Owens raced against a horse and he's one of my heroes so I'm not going to say it was a silly stunt. I know too much about horses. They're highly unreliable and they've got brains the size of golf balls.

I believed that we had to answer the question: Why are we doing this? And it wasn’t until we started to articulate, internally as an organisation, that it was about using the Games to inspire young people to participate in sports that we each understood what we had to do.

Sport is a universal language, building more bridges between people than anything else I can think of.
