Winning Does Not Always Mean Coming In

I Want To Break Into The Acting Industry. It's Something I Have A Great Deal Of Respect For; It's A Passion Of Mine. It's So Amazing, The Differences Between Acting And Being An Athlete, But The One Commonality Is They Both Evoke Emotion In The Viewer. And Those Emotions Are Real. So I Think That's Pretty Cool.

If It Wasn't For My Sport And My Father, I'd Probably Be A Fallen Statistic. I'd Be Dead; I'd Be In Jail. Luckily, I Had A Great Dad In My Life.

Every Olympic Athlete Prepares Differently. For Me, I Am 100 Percent Into The Sport. And If I Decide To Really Make A Crucial Career Decision To Say, 'this Is Something I Want To Do,' I Want To Leave No Stone Unturned In My Preparation.

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.

It Is Not Up To Me Whether I Win Or Lose. Ultimately, This Might Not Be My Day. And It Is That Philosophy Towards Sports, Something That I Really Truly Live By. I Am Emotional. I Want To Win. I Am Hungry. I Am A Competitor. I Have That Fire. But Deep Down, I Truly Enjoy The Art Of Competing So Much More Than The Result.
