Nowadays, to be a good world-ranked decathlete, you need to be good at everything.

Try everything, because you're never sure what you're going to be great at.

The perfect date is the one where anything and everything goes wrong, but at the end of it, all you want is to see them again.

You need to become more than one type of athlete. You have to be a sprinter, a weight man and a distance guy all in one.

You have to be able to be a good loser. You have to be okay knowing you're going to fail every day in something without getting mad and upset.

I'm always a little innately shy when I first talk to a girl, and I think I always will be! But I think that's a good thing. You don't want to lose that.
