For an elite athlete the fans are everything.
There was an interview that I actually listened to with John Cena where he says that he is an elite-level athlete - he is elite, and he needs to make people elite whenever he goes up against them - but I was like, gosh, as much as I hate to give him credit where credit is due, it is exactly right.
Unlike Marxism, the Leninist one-party state is not a philosophy. It is a mechanism for holding power. It works because it clearly defines who gets to be the elite - the political elite, the cultural elite, the financial elite.
To be an elite athlete is really hard when you're depressed.
As an athlete, it's always good when you can do things with the fans, try to connect with the fans.
When you're an elite athlete, it's a very special moment in time and you don't want it to end.
You might be an elite-level athlete in the room, but if no one gets to see you display your craft it doesn't matter.
As an elite athlete, I trained to win. Training was at times brutal - it has to be when you want to represent your country and to be the world's best.
Every athlete has doubts. Elite runners in particular are insecure people. You need someone to affirm that what you are doing is right.
What's wrong with "the new elite?" Forget cultural insularity or smugness. The main problem with the "new elite" is that they're not an elite at all. That is, they aren't particularly smart, or competent.
The concentration of the elite athlete is akin perhaps to the concentration of the writer.
What you're saying is that 'I, the superior elite, will take care of you.' Why? Because, you see, that superior, elite group needs to feel superior and elite. And they can't be superior and elite unless you have a whole lot of people down there groveling around. So you keep them down there by feeding them.
There is one thing on which most athletes and experts seem to agree. If you want to be an elite athlete, good nutrition at a young age is an important place to start.
Whether you're working on becoming a more patient parent or you're striving to become an elite athlete, building mental strength will help you reach your goals.
I consider myself an athlete. I train like an athlete, I eat like an athlete, I recover and get sore just like any other athlete.
It's easy to forget when you're an elite athlete that everyone else gets nervous as well. Even the best people in the world, at whatever they do, they're still nervous
Individual and team discipline ultimately come down to practicing a small set of principles over a long period of time. Success is not a matter of mastering subtle, sophisticated theory, but rather embracing common sense with uncommon levels of discipline and persistence. Said in yet another way, discipline is to an athlete what scales are to a musician. Mastering the scales is what allows the musician to perform music. Mastering the skills of self discipline is what enables a person to become an accomplished elite athlete.
