Kate Gosselin Quotes

I'm a competitor. I really enjoyed the race more than just going out and running to run.

I am happy that I ran the half-marathon, but to me, just running and saying that I finished a race isn't enough for me. I want to run the race as best as I can. Working out for pants size isn't enough. I need a goal or a race to get back on the treadmill every day.

I missed the final of the World Championships in 2009, but I told the coach I would break the world record in 2010. Which I did. Then in 2011 I won the World Championships and now in 2012 it is the Olympics. That is how I have been working.

As a scientist, I play in the top league - the Olympics, the World Championships - and I want to be in the lead. As a runner, I set personal goals, and I want to push beyond my own personal limits. I was very happy when I practiced for several months and then reached my goal to run a marathon in 2:50.

During the decathlon, I always think only of the next event and my personal record.

I raced supremely well. I felt I was as well fitted to do it as I had ever been, and as perhaps I might ever be. I went climbing three weeks before, because I was feeling fed up with running.

Rio in four years; I've got more inspiration in the last two, three weeks. I'm sure I'm going to get more in the Paralympics in the next coming weeks, so by the end of this season, I'm going to take a month off, and then the next four years is going to be good.

I love competition because I've always run faster when somebody was running next to me.

When I raced, I had great parents, even a greater coach and a nutritionist. I was never insecure.

I have one thing in mind: make the most out of football.

For every athlete, Olympics is the target, but mine is a little different. I am focusing on improving my timing; that's what I think about.

Personally, I don't focus much about the statistics of goals and assists. I always want to improve, but I'm not worried about statistics.

Direction, not intention determines your destination.

The more goals you set, the more goals you get.

If you want to get somewhere you have to know where you want to go and how to get there. Then never, never, never give up.

When you have a clear vision of your goal, it's easier to take the first step toward it.

The secret of my success over the 400m is that I run the first 200m as fast as I can. Then, for the second 200m, with God's help I run faster.

I was always into staying busy, into my goals, into making notes and planning. I'm not one who truly lives in the past.

Natural talent only determines the limits of your athletic potential. It's dedication and a willingness to discipline your life that makes you great.

Personal excellence can be achieved by a visionary goal, through planning, dedicated execution, and total follow-through.

Winners can tell you where they are going and what they plan to do along the way.

Resources follow vision.

I know what I want to do and it makes sense to get going.

The goal posts might shift, but you should have a goal.

If you don't know where you are going, then how will you get there? VISUALISE! Make pictures in your mind. See the desination. Imagine your arrival. Dream in perfect detail. See yourself the way you want to be when you arrive. See yourself arriving. Make yourself a road map and study it every day until you know the way and the destination by heart.
