The Idea That You Can't Lose Contact

They Have A Word In Finnish Called Sisu, Which Basically Means Guts. It’s The Strongest Word In The Finnish Language. You Tell A Finn He Doesn’t Have Sisu, That’s Like Spitting In His Face.

I Get More Gratification Out Of Getting Some Obese Person Who Had A Heart Attack Running Around And Enjoying Life Within A Year. I Get More Gratification From That Than Putting A Person In The Olympic Games. The Olympic Athlete Probably Doesn't Appreciate What You've Done, But The Other Guy Does. I Think It's Really Rewarding.

There Are Champions Everywhere. Every Street's Got Them. All We Need To Do Is Train Them Properly.

Athletes Need To Enjoy Their Training. They Don't Enjoy Going Down To The Track With A Coach Making Them Do Repetitions Until They're Exhausted. From Enjoyment Comes The Will To Win.

My Most Frequent Admonition To Athletes And Coaches Is: Train, Do Not Strain.
