Athlete Quotes

If you want to tell something to an athlete, say it quickly and give no alternatives. This is a game of winning and losing. It is senseless to explain and explain Picture Quote #1

I don’t drink. I don’t kiss girls. These things do an athlete in Picture Quote #1

Being an athlete is a state of mind which is not bound by age, performance or place in the running pack Picture Quote #1

Training is principally an act of faith. The athlete must believe in its efficacy; he must believe that through training he will become fitter and stronger; that by constant repetition of the same movements he will become more skilful and his muscles more relaxed... He must be a fanatic for hard work and enthusiastic enough to enjoy it Picture Quote #1

Distance running to a professional athlete in my day was five laps around the field. And you stopped each lap to take your pulse Picture Quote #1

As an athlete, I understood the value of my health insurance. I knew that in my profession, injuries were common and could happen at any time Picture Quote #1

I didn’t want to be a dancer... I just did it to work my way through college. But I was always an athlete and gymnast, so it came naturally Picture Quote #1

I later discovered that in order to be a good athlete one must care intensely what is happening with a ball, even if one doesn’t have possession of it. This was ultimately my failure: my inability to work up a passion for the location of balls Picture Quote #1

If you want to be a top athlete you have to be a little bit wild, not be an accountant Picture Quote #1

For those of us who take literature very seriously, picking up a work of fiction is the start of an adventure comparable in anticipatory excitement to what I imagine is felt by an athlete warming up for a competition, a mountain climber preparing for the ascent: it is the beginning of a process whose outcome is unknown, one that promises the thrill and elation of success but may as easily end in bitter disappointment. Committed readers realize at a certain point that literature is where we have learned a good part of the little we know about living Picture Quote #1

You don’t have to be pretty for people to come and see you play. At the same time, if you’re a good athlete, it doesn’t mean you’re not a woman Picture Quote #1

When the meal was over we all had a quiet rest in our rooms and I meditated on the race. This is the time when an athlete feels all alone in the big world. Opponents assume tremendous stature. Any runner who denies having fears, nerves or some kind of disposition is a bad athlete, or a liar Picture Quote #1

Well, no athlete respects a big, fat coach who’s going to stand there and rest the watch on his stomach Picture Quote #1

It’s about stepping up on the big stage. The athlete who can do that is goig to do well Picture Quote #1

Ultimately, any type of discipline is flawed because it keeps the person who is being disciplined inept. As long as the experience is happening to you, while it is imposed on you, it is not your dream. When discipline is administered externally, the participant is dependent on the administrator of the discipline. When discipline is administered internally, the athlete becomes a victim of the structure of the discipline. Either way, only the discipline, not the dream, is being pursued Picture Quote #1

There’s far more that goes into being a professional athlete than being a college athlete. So many differences that people don’t realize. It’s not just about playing football and getting paid to do it. There’s a lot of things that you have to deal with Picture Quote #1

Meditation practice is like piano scales, basketball drills, ballroom dance class. Practice requires discipline; it can be tedious; it is necessary. After you have practiced enough, you become more skilled at the art form itself. You do not practice to become a great scale player or drill champion. You practice to become a musician or athlete. Likewise, one does not practice meditation to become a great meditator. We meditate to wake up and live, to become skilled at the art of living Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Throughout my athletic career, the overall goal was always to be a better athlete than I was at the moment – whether next week, next month or next year. The improvement was the goal. The medal was simply the ultimate reward for achieving that goal Picture Quote #1

You can tell a great athlete by, like, not how many times he wins, unlike when he loses. Because that’s what is gonna make a swimmer Picture Quote #1

I try to be a smart quarterback. I’m not the fastest or the best athlete, but if I can know what the defense is doing and stick to my job and what needs to be done I can make the plays needed to move the ball and score Picture Quote #1

Obviously, you’re known for what you do. But you still want to be known as a good person. You’re a person a lot longer before and after you’re a professional athlete Picture Quote #1

As a competitor and an athlete, you love that you get to go back and challenge someone, especially the world champs Picture Quote #1

It’s a great feeling as a coach to see your athlete run well, hearing the oohs and aahs as she picks people off Picture Quote #1

I see myself as an athlete and just try to market myself as a feminine athlete Picture Quote #1

An athlete must have a sound and trained body, and only after, indulge in sport he prefers Picture Quote #1

I was afraid I would see someone from my past who thought I was this big athlete, and then I end up being just normal Picture Quote #1

Our behaviour as an athlete is often determined by our previous experiences and how we dealt with those experiences. It is these experiences from past performances that can often shape what will happen in the future. It is for this reason that you learn and move on to be more mentally stronger as both an athlete and as a human! Picture Quote #1

Being vegan doesn’t make you a stronger, better athlete. But it allows you to make yourself a stronger, better athlete Picture Quote #1

I’ve found that a person does not need protein from meat to be a successful athlete. In fact, my best year of track competition was the first year I ate a vegan diet Picture Quote #1
