A Quote by Eddie the Eagle
There are so many world-class athletes who are great at their sport, but they're so boring. They don't talk, and they can't be interviewed very well.

I've never seen a more boring sport.
There are so many aspects to the sport. It never gets boring because you always do something different.

I've been coaching the sport for a number of years. And I went through many athletes. Some athletes stay with your program for a long, long period of time. Some athletes, they have a different approach as far as coaching style or your philosophies. I totally respect their own opinions - they have the right to choose their own coach.

We thought we were going to end all that sort of thing."
I love to experiment with my looks and dresses on and off the court because I love to turn out very well. But, I must add here that just good-looking athletes can't do anything for their sport.
