Inspirations

When you’ve got something to prove, there’s nothing greater than a challenge.

Comebacks are not at all easy. After a major surgery, the difficult part is to conquer the inner demons. It's all in the mind. Only an individual can overcome his fears.

Make sure your worst enemy doesn’t live between your own two ears.

I remember once, actually the first race I ran, I fell.

What I do is play soccer, which is what I like.

Under pressure you can perform fifteen percent better or worse.

If you dream and you allow yourself to dream you can do anything.

Competing at the highest level is the greatest test of one’s character.

The beauty of a move lies not in its appearance but in the thought behind it.

Sportspersons have to reinvent themselves every day. It helps them improve.

For me, opposition is just another opposition.

Wisdom is always an overmatch for strength.

A man who wins is a man who thinks he can.

If you can’t outplay them, outwork them.

I prepare so no one can take what is mine, no one can replace my mind, my heart.

You must expect great things of yourself before you can do them.

I don’t fold under pressure, great athletes perform better under pressure, so put pressure on me.

I really think a champion is defined not by their wins but by how they can recover when they fall.

You need to realise that you must have something to aim for, something to drive you.

There is no way around hard work. Embrace it.
