An Olympic Pursuit Really Takes A Full

I Tend To Build Bulk And Muscle Easily, And Running Seems To Make Sure I Stay Kind Of Stringy, If That Makes Sense.

With Speed Skating, It's Like Doing One-legged Squats Over And Over Again, With That One Leg Absorbing More Than 80 Percent Of Your Weight. It Takes An Enormous Amount Of Strength, And You're In Such A Weird Position.

When I'm Done Skating, I Guarantee You That I Will Not Look Back And Remember Standing On The Podium. I'm Going To Remember These Days - Being With The Team. Training Alone, In My Basement. Training When Everybody Else Is Sleeping. Doing Things That Nobody Else Is Doing. Digging Down. Seeing What Kind Of Character I Truly Have. I Love That Stuff.

The Older I Get, The More And More I Notice I'm Like My Father. It's Funny, Because When I Was Younger I Tried To Just Back Away From My Father As Much As I Could, And Some Of The Philosophies, Some Of The Life Lessons, Some Of The Beliefs That He Had Within Me Are Always Constantly Ongoing, And They're Always Prevalent In My Life, Whether It's Trying To Be Every Single Thing That I Can Be In My Sport Or Life Or Relationship Or Business, Whatever Avenue I'm Pursuing.

When You Reach That Competing Point, When You Reach That Time When The Gun Is About To Go Off, Everyone's Level Is Pretty Much The Same. The One Thing That's Going To Separate You From Everybody Else Is How You Deal With Those Pressures, How You Stay Relaxed.
