Before the decathlon I’m constantly trying to convince myself that I want to do this, that I want to take myself to that place where it’s going to hurt and things are going to be tough. But that’s like anything – you want to give your best.
I was blessed with certain gifts and talents and God gave them to me to be the best person I can be and to have a positive impact on other people.
If I look what sport has done in my life, I don’t think there’s any doubt that sport can change lives.
