Zitat des Tages von Lynn Davies:
People need to have clear goals about why they are exercising, and they should consult a fitness expert to find out what kind of exercise is suitable.
We must have PE teachers and coaches who are well trained and qualified.
It's about lessons for life. It's not just about winning either.
One of the top political issues of the day is how to combat young people not being active anymore.
I played rugby in the winter, cricket in the summer, and for a brief period was on the books at Cardiff City. Athletics was only sports day for me. In fact, I never really liked it. I was never too keen on a sport that didn't have a ball at your feet.
It's not just about a coach telling you what to do and just following it unthinkingly.
If you have a coach helping you, developing your skills alongside you, that's when you're on your way to becoming not just a participant but achieving.
If athletes are found to have taken performance enhancing drugs, then they should be banned for two years, even if they are British.
Belief is such an important aspect of sport.
I still do cardiovascular exercises, aerobic exercises, and then strength training, as it's important to keep your muscle strength, as every decade you lose about 10% of this.
There's so much hard work, dedication, and focus goes in from not just the athletes but from the coaches, officials, governing bodies, and Sport Wales. It's a real team effort, and it's rightly called Team Wales.
It was not about the guy who could jump the furthest; it was about the guy who could jump the furthest on that particular day in the worst conditions of any Olympic long jump final.
As a youngster, I enjoyed sport and my ambition was to be a great sportsman.
There are hurdles to overcome in sport and in life. Sport is a very valuable learning ground for how to live your life in the best possible way.
It's about somebody initially knowing more about it than you do but eventually you learn a lot about it yourself and practise the skills and techniques that you've been taught.
You've got to be actively involved in the process yourself and you've got to listen carefully to what the coach is saying, take that on board yourself and implement what the coach is saying.
It's perseverance that's the key. It's persevering for long enough to achieve your potential.
I am delighted that Jason Gardener will be taking over from me as President of U.K. Athletics. With his competitive background in the sport as an Olympic champion coupled with his engaging personality and his experience as a board member of U.K. Athletics, he possesses all the qualities required to be a successful president.
I am a sportsman, and I hate politics.
I've been involved in sport right through my life.
The reception and the welcome home was quite overwhelming but an indication of how much the Welsh people valued my winning in the Olympics - it was a great memory.
Athletes peak for the Olympic Games and can take months to get back up to that level.
My sporting heroes were Ken Jones, Stanley Matthews, and Cliff Morgan.
I saw what politics did to the Olympic Games in 1980 and 1984, and I would defend the right of a sportsman to go and play and perform where they want.
The IOC are the guardians of the Olympic ideal.
