I've tried to do everything possible to prepare myself and prepare our football team to be great.

Russell Wilson

My training diet can be quite strict when I'm coming up to competition; it's a weight-making sport, of course. But I eat quite healthily anyway, and it's less strict when out of competition.

Katie Taylor

I've always believed in myself, and it's such a long competition over two days, you can't worry about what anyone else is doing.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

Figure our what it is you don't do very well, and then don't do it. I'm not beating myself up about doing everything perfectly. The litmus test I always use for myself is: "Okay, if you won 20 million tomorrow in the lottery would you still being doing the same thing you are doing now with your life, Dough? The answer is "yes". I'm always very conscious of that.

Douglas Coupland

And I've always - the competition is one aspect of the job, but I think if you're too busy worrying about the competition, you don't focus enough on what you're doing.

Katie Couric

I view my strongest competition as myself. You're always trying to top yourself, rather than worrying about what other people are doing.

John C. Reilly

...the best possible way to prepare for tomorrow is to concentrate with all your intelligence, all your enthusiasm, on doing today's work superbly today. That is the only possible way you can prepare for the future.

Dale Carnegie

I will always think of myself as that girl that is 22 starting and really excited about everything and wanting to be amazing at everything. I always wanted to be the best stylist. That was it.

Rachel Zoe

It's not really about the competition. Your biggest challenge in a race is yourself. You're often racing against time. You're frequently running everything through your mind. You're always competing against preconceived ideas. It's not really the person next to you that you worry about.

Summer Sanders

If I couldn't compete, I wouldn't ride. I don't ride for fun; I ride to prepare for the next competition, and everything that I do when I am in the saddle is always a calculated step in my path to the next win.

Georgina Bloomberg

I just stay focused, and I always think about gymnastics. I am just doing what I always do... working really hard and pushing myself to the maximum and keeping myself motivated.

Aly Raisman

People always say there is competition in nature, but I think that because we are human, it's not only competition. Because we are human we have something other than competition - sharing, helping others, or being oneself. Competition is really kind of ugly.

Michel Gondry

But to win, I was overwhelmed - it felt great! I was really excited. I didn't expect it, but I'm also really competitive. As soon as I hear the word "competition" I get serious and start doing everything that I can do.

Maureen McCormick

You can’t really worry too much…about what the competition is doing or what other people in your field are doing. It has to be a true vision.

Anna Wintour

You've just got to continue to prepare in the film room, continue to prepare running the game plan and doing everything on the practice field and hope that it translates.
