Patrick Chan Quotes

I practice very hard. I take care of myself, and I'm young.

I would be lying if I said I wanted to wake up and work out every day.

If it wasn't for my trainer - who comes looking for me three times a week before 7 A.M. - I wouldn't get my butt out of bed and into the gym. There are many mornings when I think about faking a sprained ankle, but I just put it out of my head and make myself go.

My dad, he worked rebar, an ironworker.
