For So Long I Wanted To Win

I Have A Black Lab Named Luke.

I Don't Think Anyone Chooses The Decathlon As Much As It Chooses You.

We Have To Lie To Ourselves As Decathletes And Say That We Like All Ten Events.

I Was Blessed With Certain Gifts And Talents And God Gave Them To Me To Be The Best Person I Can Be And To Have A Positive Impact On Other People.

Before The Decathlon I'm Constantly Trying To Convince Myself That I Want To Do This, That I Want To Take Myself To That Place Where It's Going To Hurt And Things Are Going To Be Tough. But That's Like Anything - You Want To Give Your Best.
