Competing Out Training Wears

Eddy Merckx

When you're competing, you have to wear a sleeve that goes all the way down to your wrist. When you're training, you usually don't wear long-sleeved leotards, so there's a difference between training and competing.

McKayla Maroney

This fight is something I've been working towards for 10, 12 or 15 years, since I first started competing, not even competing, just training in Mixed Martial Arts. This is a dream of mine, and to fight Georges St-Pierre in his hometown for the undisputed belt, it's surreal and an opportunity of a lifetime for me.

Carlos Condit

Over the years of competing as an individual, I got a little bit burned out and tired of competing for myself.

Rich Froning Jr.

I always loved lifting and training and competing.

Brian Shaw

Like a robe wears out over time and turns to rags, life wears out from day to day, from second to second.

Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

I wear Spanx to smooth things out. I read that Jessica Alba wears them and if she wears them, then so should I.

Amanda Bynes

I like jewellery because it's forever. Flowers die, chocolates get eaten and lingerie wears out in the wash. Plus, the girl is reminded of you every time she wears it. It's a wise move.

Amanda Bynes

If you do the same thing as others, it will wear you out. Nintendo is not good at competing so we always have to challenge the status quo by making something new, rather than competing in an existing market.

Satoru Iwata

I attacked my cancer diagnosis the same way I attack training and competing, and that's pretty fearless.

Eric Shanteau

Talent wears well, genius wears itself out; talent drives a snug brougham in fact; genius, a sun-chariot in fancy.

Ouida

I'm away about six months of the year, competing here in the U.K. or in training camps in Arizona, Ethiopia, the Pyrenees.

Mo Farah

I loved going to our winter training camps in Perth, Western Australia, when I was competing as a cyclist.

Chris Hoy

While others were out partying, I was training. While they were out dancing at the clubs, I was training... and training... and training.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

My love for weight training and competing just seemed like a perfect fit for strongman. So I decided to give it a try, for fun, really. It's definitely not for everybody, but if you love working out and being competitive and pushing yourself to the limit, it's great. It's fun, for sure.

Brian Shaw

I kind of stumbled into this. I used to do karate and then I started reading muscle magazines. Eventually, I began training and competing.

Dorian Yates

I think competition can make people stronger at whatever it is they're competing on. If we're competing in some athletic event for competitive swimmers, really intensely competing, it's likely that both of us will become better, but it's also quite possible we'll lose sight of what's truly valuable.
