Sebastian Coe Quotes

There may be problems we still need to tease out, but we will leave no stone unturned in our bid to make London the host city Picture Quote #1

Inspirational leaders need to have a winning mentality in order to inspire respect. It is hard to trust in the leadership of someone who is half-hearted about their purpose, or only sporadic in focus or enthusiasm Picture Quote #1

Sacrifice is going to war for your country. Sacrifice is a brave young man being blown up by a landmine in Afghanistan Picture Quote #1

There’s a difference between hurting when you lose and being a bad loser. You don’t compete at the highest level of sport to feel comfortable about losing, but you behave in a civil way when it goes wrong because that is the flip side Picture Quote #1

My motivation to compete was always about improving one year to the next. At 34, I realised I’d never run any quicker, so why hang on? But I love running and still run along woodland trails and beaches every few days Picture Quote #1

I have always been very good at being able to structure my time. My mother had a huge influence on me. My dad was my coach. He was a hugely influential figure Picture Quote #1

Nobody ever becomes an expert parent. But I think good parenting is about consistency. It’s about being there at big moments, but it’s also just the consistency of decision making. And it’s routine Picture Quote #1

At university level, I had an economics lecturer who used to joke that I was the only student who handed in essays on British Airways notepaper Picture Quote #1

Ask me what makes a champion runner, and I will tell you it helps to have the great good sense to choose your parents carefully Picture Quote #1

I might have to consider coaching- I’m getting too old to be a world class runner and my mind isn’t gone enough to become an official Picture Quote #1

I’ve never sent an email in my life. My kids laugh. I often hand the phone to them and say, ‘Can you text this message to somebody.’ I don’t even have a computer on my desk Picture Quote #1

Some people found it difficult to understand my relationship with my father, but that may have been because they couldn’t get beyond their relationship with their own parents Picture Quote #1

Good running is the ability to have a very well defined on-board computer. The ability to judge distances when running in traffic Picture Quote #1

We have to recognise there are very few countries you will take the Games to where somebody doesn’t have issues on foreign or domestic policy Picture Quote #1

Getting the Games for London has been the fulfilment of a dream. It is one which I truly believe can change the lives of hundreds of thousands of young people for the better. But in the end, nothing can quite compare with winning your first Olympic gold medal Picture Quote #1

Vision is a romantic thing. We have got into ‘talent identification’. I am much more interested in passion - finding people who are really excited about doing something Picture Quote #1

I wouldn’t have raced a horse. But you’ll then throw back at me that Jesse Owens raced against a horse, and he’s one of my heroes, so I’m not going to say it was a silly stunt. I know too much about horses. They’re highly unreliable, and they’ve got brains the size of golf balls Picture Quote #1

The great thing about athletics is that it’s like poker sometimes: you know what’s in your hand, and it may be a load of rubbish, but you’ve got to keep up the front Picture Quote #1

World records are only borrowed Picture Quote #1

I’ve always felt that long, slow distance produces long, slow runners Picture Quote #1

Tomorrow is another day, and there will be another battle! Picture Quote #1

To anyone who has started out on a long campaign believing that the gold medal was destined for him, the feeling when, all of a sudden, the medal has gone somewhere else is quite indescribable Picture Quote #1

Im not sure there are enough coaches in the system that can take young talent and consistently get them into the top five in the world Picture Quote #1

Blink and you miss a sprint. The 10,000 meters is lap after lap of waiting. Theatrically, the mile is just the right length: beginning, middle, end, a story unfolding Picture Quote #1
