People say the seats at sporting events are too small. My response is, 'That's why we're trying to work on the size of your rear end!'
The paradox of endurance sports is that an athlete can never work as hard as he wants, because if he pushes himself too far, his hematocrit will fall.
You hit one level of the sport, and then you want to get to the next level. Until, eventually, the Olympics becomes part of that dream, part of that goal set and the mindset of wanting to get there. And then you realize there's so much incredible har...
My work ethic is from sports.
I think that people who have played sports have an ability to relate to people because when you're playing you have to work on teams and with opposing players.
I don't want to be competing in a sport where I feel that I'm here not on my talent and my hard work but because of a piece of equipment.
I like people who are enthused about things they do, like travel, sports, work. I like being with people who have things they're excited about.
You need to work very hard, you have to spend a lot of time practicing your sport - six to seven hours daily.
I missed being considered an athlete and having that competitive drive, and missed having something to work for every day. I'd taken two and a half years away from the sport and was out of shape. I wanted to get back to where I was in 2008.
The plays and sports of children are as salutary to them as labor and work are to grown persons.
I'm the kind of guy that if I don't work out, I will get bigger and look like one of the guys who used to play sports.
If you qualify for a World Cup and expect to get an easy group, you are in the wrong sport. It doesn't work like that.
The Olympic Games are always in the head of every sports athlete. We work for that.
Maybe if Graziano make another work or another sport I wouldn't have had this passion to be a rider.
In order to excel, you must be completely dedicated to your chosen sport. You must also be prepared to work hard and be willing to accept constructive criticism. Without one-hundred percent dedication, you won't be able to do this.
I like sports, and swimming is my favorite. Doing physical exercises keeps one fit and healthy and helps one work more efficiently. I think we all need to strike a balance between work and relaxation. This can keep us energetic and help us do our job...
Theater will never, and never has, gotten audiences like film. But theater goes to work on society in a different and more subversive way.
The thing that is most important is having people who are involved and engaged with the kids and also are not stressed and can be involved with them. And that's actually not boring and banal. That actually takes a lot of work to make that happen, and...
We lost our minds in the '80s and '90s; we really as a society just felt that everyone could only care about themselves. There was no responsibility to discuss what's going on in your town, your state, your nation. And it was a blast, it was really f...
We're living in a whole new social and economic order with a whole new set of problems and challenges. Old assumptions and old programs don't work in this new society and the more we try to stretch them to make them fit, the more we will be seen as r...
There's no law of physics that says we have to be an unsustainable society - in fact, quite the opposite. The planet's ready to work with us if we're ready to think differently, but we do have to make that jump and start to do things in new ways.
