Ashton Eaton Zitate – Sprüche auf Englisch mit Übersetzung

Zitat des Tages von Ashton Eaton:

I'm a 'what's next?' guy. I don't know what that is, but I'm excited to find out and put the same kind of energy into it as I put into track.

There's never going to be a decathlon that you're going to have 10 events that your satisfied with. You're always, always going to be dissatisfied in something, and that always draws you back to try to retry that the next time you do a decathlon. It's like you go for the perfect 10.

Ashton Eaton

Now that I'm older, I see the benefits of having free time to release energy.

Ashton Eaton

I had a dream, my dream came true, and my mom was there for me every step of the way. We didn't do this for any other reason. I am so happy she is here to experience this with me. This would not be the same if she were not by my side.

Ashton Eaton

When I see my mom in the stands, it always pushes me to succeed.

Ashton Eaton

The thing I like about decathlon is also the thing I dislike: It's the maximum challenge, but also the maximum frustration.

Ashton Eaton

I am not the one who has to try to beat me.

Ashton Eaton

I'm a 'what's next?' guy. I don't know what that is, but I'm excited to find out and put the same kind of energy into it as I put into track.

Ashton Eaton

That is when the crowd really lifted me. That last 600 meters I was not running with my own legs. It was incredible.

Ashton Eaton

I'm not much of a gym rat; I'd rather be running, but if it enables me to run faster, then I guess I can tough it out.

Ashton Eaton

My goal in Korea is to win. There's no timetable when to set the American record.

Ashton Eaton

When I was growing up, I used to watch 'Power Rangers' and 'Ninja Turtles.' It seemed like every movie had someone doing martial arts in it, so I would go around punching and kicking trees.

Ashton Eaton

In our marriage, the success of our athletic dreams comes before everything. 'Hey do you want to watch a movie?' 'No, I have a hard workout tomorrow.'

Ashton Eaton

The opportunity to represent your country at the Olympic Games is earned, not given.

Ashton Eaton

I always try to do better than I have before, so I think it would be good to break the world record.

Ashton Eaton

I think a challenge for myself is to see how many times I can get above 9,000. That would be a good challenge.

Ashton Eaton

As athletes, we love to say, 'Just one more; I'm going to figure it out on this next one.' It's tough to pull back the reins and do what is smart physically, listening to your body and always ending a workout or session feeling like I could have done more.

Ashton Eaton

I think when the competitions come, I am always ready to go. I don't think I ever have not been.

Ashton Eaton

That's what has always been good about track. The goal is very clearly defined: Try to win. Get the gold medal. And I'm able to put my energy toward that.

Ashton Eaton

I'm not maximized yet.

Ashton Eaton

I thought it'd be cool to start my own university, in a way.

Ashton Eaton

You try to figure out the best way to throw the shot put, or the perfect way to long jump, and you don't ever get it. You just chip away, chip away, chip away as time goes on.

Ashton Eaton

I remember growing up, having sports to go to, having recess, those were the things I looked forward to. Yes, I'm an athlete, but I had buddies who weren't, and they looked forward to it, too.

Ashton Eaton

I wouldn't have gone to a Division I school if I didn't have scholarship help. We couldn't afford it.

Ashton Eaton

The great thing about this is, and not to pump my own tires, but I feel like I'm not maximized yet. I feel like I can still run faster, jump higher, which I think makes it special. Hopefully, going to London, I'll be welcomed into the decathlon community.

Ashton Eaton

I won't back down. I get a satisfaction from being tested and defeating the test.

Ashton Eaton

The first sport I played was baseball. I remember being on the Little League team and someone pitching the ball to me for the first time. I was ready to no longer hit the ball off the tee, and an adult pitched it to me underhand.

Ashton Eaton

Rather than realizing immediate physiological gain, the challenge is more about reducing the mental attrition from the two days to maximize each event.

Ashton Eaton

The desire definitely comes from within. There are only a few people who make it to this level and those are the ones who have that innate desire.

Ashton Eaton

I want to see where I measure up against everyone in the world and everyone who has ever competed in the sport, and there's that innate sense of wanting to challenge myself. I'm competitive in all aspects.

To be with the other two-time gold medalists is great, but it's great to just be a decathlete.

Ashton Eaton

The more you do, the more attrition you experience.

I actually like indoor track and field more than outdoor.

Ashton Eaton

In high school, I had a gold 1992 Ford Explorer. It was a gift. I used to have a terrible habit of locking the keys in the car when I used leave the car running to help it start on a cold morning. I think the local locksmith became used to me calling him.

Ashton Eaton

I do the whole 10-event thing, but at the end of the day, it's still track and field.

Ashton Eaton

I don't have one specific person that I think is the most athletic person.
