#decathlon

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. ↗

I got interested in decathlon because a coach that I had was a big fan of Bruce Jenner, and he just saw the ability in me - but when it came down to it, I knew my best chance at a college scholarship would be in track and field. ↗

It took me time to realize that the men who won Olympic gold medals in the decathlon are just men, just like me. ↗

The decathlon includes ten separate events and they all matter. You can't work on just one of them. ↗
