It was the most intense training schedule I had ever experienced in my life. Ten to twelve hours of training every single day. You cherish every moment of sleep you get. But it really helped us build that base going into the Olympic year.
I go to practice every day. I really don't have a training camp. In the boxing world, and that's where that came from, almost every time a guy would get out of the ring and he wouldn't break a sweat again until he went to his next training camp. He would do absolutely nothing until he started training for the next fight.
My making it is a combination of grinding, grinding, grinding and being lucky enough to finally get a shot.
I'm doing mental training as well. So, you know, body, mind, and spirit - everything is being addressed, every single day. Generally I'll have three training sessions a day.
It's not about improving when you play; it's every day, in training, you have to work on every aspect of your game, and that's something I've really enjoyed.
I'd guess that every American action film would be different. It's just training, training hard, training a lot. Then trying to give your best performance on the day, and I've been lucky so far.
It's good for your body to have a break. Even when you're training, you have to have a cheat day every week. The body reacts better to training if you give it intervals of not training, or you relax the diet.
It's tough being at Chelsea. I work hard every day in training. It's a massive club with really good players, so you don't get the opportunity every weekend.
You define great players as guys that are out there grinding, battling every day with their team.
I'm very focused and working really hard in training every day.
Every day in normal training, I'm trying to score more. And after training, I stay to practise my shooting as well.
Doing the soaps, every day it's constant training. Dealing with camera angles, the other people - it's great training.
I try to improve every day so that things go well. You must keep training strongly every day.
I think about Rio every day. Every day in training, it's something that drives me forward. I want to be Olympic champion.
A line I like to use is, "Every day is training. Every day of life is a pursuit of perfection."
I eat pretty clean, but the training is tiring. When you're training two times a day it can be really draining, so I'd rather stick with the diet.
