#Olympic

"If not you, who?"

"Nothing could be any worse than having to turn to your friends, your colleagues and your loved ones and say –‘I gave up too soon’."

"To deliver your own personal maximum, you’ll realise there are no shortcuts; if you want to be a champion it is all about rolling your sleeves up and getting stuck in."

"Look for solutions, instead of being difficult; be more thoughtful, instead of allowing anger to burn you out. Look at things from a different perspective, embrace change, look out for opportunities and you will feel much more in control."

"Trust in your own beliefs or succumb to the influence of others’."

"Tell me your thinking, and I’ll tell you what your life looks like."

"A mind filled with negative thoughts makes you feel miserable and inadequate and will lead to failure after failure no matter how hard you try to succeed."

"The sprint is like life ... blink and you miss it."

"If you are able to focus unswervingly on your goals, then all that you desire will become yours."

"They don’t give Olympic medals out for talking a good game."

"The way forward is to stop pestering yourself for answers and let it, the creative part of your mind, come up with the solution when the time is right."

"When you think a positive thought, you become positive."

"Your current apathy is simply your soul telling you that it is confused."

"Athletes who are able to stay completely focused in pursuit of their dreams are the ones that are most likely to become champions."

"There are three types of people in this world. Firstly, there are people who make things happen. Then there are people who watch things happen. Lastly, there are people who ask, what happened? Which do you want to be?"

"If you decide not to take action, you are going to fail, and even if you do take action, if you can’t keep up your motivation, you will simply end up back where you started."

"Every time a champion makes a decision they have a chance to learn something new, regardless of the outcome."

"It is action that creates motivation."

"You can start to change your luck today. Begin believing that you can have what you desire and superior things will arrive."

"Do you want to know what one of the secrets to achieving all of your goals is? You’ve got to be committed."
