I think sometimes I guess you see records say you want to get there and use that as motivation. In a way it's kind of cool if there is a possibility to rewrite history and be up there with the greats of Olympic history.

People find themselves in ruts all the time. You're in a complacent lifestyle where you work 9 to 5 and then you add a mortgage and kids. You feel trapped but guess what brother?

I was told to avoid the business all together because of the rejection. People would say to me 'Don't you want to have a normal job and a normal family?' I guess that would be good advice for some people but I wanted to act.

An economist's guess is liable to be as good as anybody else's.
