Bode Miller Quotes

Sport is born clean and it would stay that way if it was the athletes who ran it for the pleasure of taking part, but then the fans and the media intervene and finish up by corrupting it with the pressure that they exercise Picture Quote #1

My team has been very unreceptive about the fact that I consistently show them that I train slightly differently than they do, that I consistently show them that I am in better shape for ski racing than anyone else on the team Picture Quote #1

This year I just want to enjoy myself. I could give up tomorrow without having the slightest regret. I could keep away from this world for a year and then perhaps start to feel the desire to prove something to myself again Picture Quote #1

There’s so many guys skiing so fast right now that you really have to be willing to take a lot of risks if you want to give yourself a chance to win. I’m prepared to do it; it’s just a matter of if I can make it work Picture Quote #1

It’s nice, being brought up with no money at all. It’s just not how I measure success, so that makes it a bunch easier Picture Quote #1

Eventually I’d like to have a family. I’d like to not be limping around when I’m 50 years old Picture Quote #1

From 1999 to 2003 was the peak of equipment in ski racing. Since then, it’s all gone in the wrong direction Picture Quote #1

I had to think about ankle torsion, where the screws are on the ski, how that affects the forces going into the ski and how the ski bends, your leverage points. It was a challenge. I was having the greatest time, making the mistakes, crashing Picture Quote #1

I really am a thinker. I don’t do things rash. I know some of the things I’ve said or the way I act seem rash. But I do take ownership of it. I don’t say things I don’t mean Picture Quote #1

I simply think things through, and I look at problems. One thing I pride myself on is the ability to connect unconnected thoughts and come up with new, unique thoughts Picture Quote #1

I went through a period at boarding school when my coaches wanted me to switch to snowboarding because they thought I was no good at skiing. I was too skinny. I had terrible technique. They were saying I should be a snowboarder, and luckily, I resisted Picture Quote #1

I’m still having fun and as long as skiing is enjoyable, I’m going to continue to do it Picture Quote #1

Obviously, you always want to win, but you want to win by skiing a race that you’re proud of and you feel like you really challenged yourself and left it all out there Picture Quote #1

Once the season starts for me, there isn’t a change in my focus, just a change in my tactics and strategies Picture Quote #1

That feeling is the same whether you’re on either side of the hundredths. Obviously, it’s great to win the world championship, but if you put down that kind of skiing, it’s awesome either way Picture Quote #1

The same people who recognize I came out with no medals should recognize I could have won three Picture Quote #1

Anyone who isn’t strong is left in a corner, no one asks for their autograph, they are abandoned in the cold shadows. Those who win, however, become icons Picture Quote #1

When you back off, it’s easier to do mistakes. For me it’s better to ski fast Picture Quote #1

Some people say I make mistakes. I just say that in fact this is the secret of enjoying life. I hate monotony. Why don’t they leave me freedom of choice? People want to impose choices which aren’t necessarily mine. That’s the mistake people make Picture Quote #1

The best way to protect your own freedom is to watch everybody else’s back. That’s the essence of community Picture Quote #1

Join the bold, the brazen, the unintimidated. Join not having excuses. Join the idea that fun is the source of all joy. Join the unwillingness to give up. Join doing things your way. Join not joining. Join that purpose is stronger than outcome. Join your gut. Join the constant challenge of seeking greatness. Join play. Join the hunger to find what makes you happy. Join karma and nature and the effect you have on your world. Join your philosophy. Join something bigger than you. Join what you believe Picture Quote #1

At the end of the day, you have to make sure you’re at least listening to what your head is telling you, what your heart is telling you. That’s hard to do when there are a million other people shouting as loud as they can Picture Quote #1

There’s been times when I’ve been in really tough shape at the top of the course. Talk about a hard challenge right there. I mean, if you ever tried to ski when you’re wasted, it’s not easy. Try and ski a slalom when … you hit a gate less than every one a second, so it’s risky, you know. You’re putting your life at risk there. It’s like driving drunk only there’s no rules about it in ski racing Picture Quote #1

I tried retiring a couple of times and it just didn’t really stick so, but at some point enough things conspire together and it does stick Picture Quote #1

My grandfather was very into horse racing, and I found some of his old journals and got into it from there. It has a lot of parallels to skiing. It’s a fun lifestyle, being around the racetrack Picture Quote #1

My sister has three kids so I've spent a lot of time around children and I've always really liked them and wanted my own. It's cool because you think all babies are the same but they aren't at all. They all have such different personalities. It's crazy Picture Quote #1

When you get old, it’s hard to tell what’s memory and what you’ve kind of created in your head as memory, you know? Picture Quote #1

Fame is almost a poison. I couldn’t care less, in fact I lived better when I was a nobody Picture Quote #1
