Nicola Adams Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Nicola Adams:

I think the more people that feel comfortable in their own skin and feel happy that they can come out and know that it's not going to affect their job or moving up in their career is the way forward. Just making people feel happy and comfortable in their own job and in their sport.

At the 2012 Olympics, there was a nutritionist in the food hall telling us, 'Eat that. And eat that.' After winning my gold, I went to McDonald's for chicken nuggets and a strawberry milkshake, but that was just for the hell of it. I don't feel hungry after a match, to be honest.

Sometimes my brain is saying, 'Go wild on food,' and I'll want to pig out, but I'll tell myself, 'No.' You either want to win or you don't.

Nicola Adams

Everywhere I go, people ask me for photos and autographs, saying I inspired them to start training. Boris Johnson says his sons started boxing after seeing me - how cool is that?

Nicola Adams

Our boxing is not like the men's. It's more thoughtful, more technical. It's not just, 'Get in there and hurt someone.'

Nicola Adams

A couple of weeks after the Olympics, I thought I'd pop down to my local supermarket and do some grocery shopping. One person came up to me in the frozen food aisle, and that was it. I was mobbed, and I had to leave my shopping. Now, I either shop online or go very late at night when the supermarket's nearly empty.

Nicola Adams

My family and friends are the only people I pay mind to. It's none of my business what anyone else thinks. I don't even know them, so why should I care?

Nicola Adams

Muhammad Ali meant everything to me. He inspired me to box after watching re-runs of him winning a gold medal in the Olympics and being a world champion.

Nicola Adams

I wouldn't call myself a feminist. I am just me. I like boxing and acting and doing my charity work.

Nicola Adams

I want to be the European, Olympic, Commonwealth and world champion. I want the full set.

Nicola Adams

One girl said when I won my gold that was what inspired her to do boxing. She was only 12, and that is the same age I was when I first started.

Nicola Adams

I'm good at clearing things out. If I haven't worn something for a while, I'll give it away to charity.

Nicola Adams

Boxing is like chess. You encourage your opponent to make mistakes so you can capitalise on it. People think you get in the ring and see the red mist, but it's not about aggression. Avoiding getting knocked out is tactical.

Nicola Adams

Every time I get in the ring, I have to give 110 per cent because my opponents have nothing to lose and everything to gain, so I have to make sure I go in there with my A-game and come away with the victory.

Nicola Adams

You can have someone younger, faster, but if you have got that experience and that ring craft, you can do anything in that ring.

Nicola Adams

Spiders keep me awake at night. If I see one that's too big to get under a glass, there will be big problems. I'll spend the rest of the day feeling like I'm being terrorised by this missing spider.

Nicola Adams

Everybody wants that spot: everybody wants to beat Nicola Adams. Everybody wants to be the Olympic champion; everybody wants to beat the Olympic champion. It's made me train that much harder and stay that much more focused. I guess, in a way, I've got them to thank for keeping me motivated and focused on the job I need to do.

Nicola Adams

I think the more people that feel comfortable in their own skin and feel happy that they can come out and know that it's not going to affect their job or moving up in their career is the way forward. Just making people feel happy and comfortable in their own job and in their sport.
