bible calms listen music
I listen to a lot of Christian music, and reading my Bible calms me down immensely.
definitely double enhances guy totally
There's definitely a whole double standard. I don't understand it. A guy can be sexy and good-looking, and it totally just enhances his credibility as an athlete.
female good meets totally
If a female is good-looking, it totally decreases her credibility. Now she's not a good athlete - she's only good in these track meets because she's good-looking.
definitely dinners earrings frozen grocery sixth
I definitely would say, by sixth grade, I was a professional shoplifter - and not because I wanted to. I'm not going out to shoplift earrings or clothes or shoes like the average teenager. I was shoplifting frozen dinners at a grocery store.
body car coach eat food fuel good high level premium race training
I am training at such a high level that I actually could eat anything and get by. But as my coach always says, your body is like a car, and food is like your fuel. I am a race car, so I can't just put unleaded fuel in my car. I need that good premium fuel.
learned lessons maybe medal olympic run sees struggled thinks
Maybe there's a little girl who thinks she can be an Olympic athlete, and she sees all the things I struggled through to get here. Yeah, I didn't walk away with a medal or run away with a medal, but I think there's lessons to be learned when you win and lessons to be learned when you lose.
contract
I didn't have a big-time contract out of college like most athletes. In fact I had no contract at all.
loud screaming stadium standing whip
When I'm standing in a stadium packed with 80,000 screaming fans, I can't just whip out my Bible before I run. That's when I start praying! It's so loud that I can't even hear what I'm saying, but it always helps.
inspirational motivational healthy
Stepping on that line for me, it will be about facing my fears.
inspiration opportunity years
The Olympics are only once every four years so you have to take advantage of all your opportunities, both to be an inspiration to people and help support your sponsors who help you,
believe people calm
Believe it or not, Twitter calms me down. I enjoy interacting with people.
eight balance three
Deep squats work so many muscles in your body. Once a week, I do three sets of six, or eight of the free-bar ones, which can help out your balance and work more muscles than doing them on the machine.
athlete laptops massage
A businessman needs a laptop. Athletes need massages and the right diet.
winning gold four
It took Dan Jansen, the speed skater, four Olympics to win a medal-a gold one at that!-but he never gave up. I won't, either.
