There's no one body type that makes an Olympian.

There's no one body type that makes an Olympian. What does all of them have that's across that's a common trait? It's definitely discipline. Discipline, passion, and talent. And those are the three that every single person there has. They look really different, it's expressed really differently, but you have to have those three. And the passion bit's really important because as you said, you end up sacrificing a lot and you end up doing things that are a lot different from your peers. Like when I was in school, I used to train from 5:00 a.m. till 7:00 a.m. and then go to school in the middle of the day and then train from 5:00 to 7:00 at night and then come home and be in bed by 8:00 again. You've got to have the passion to actually make that worth it. I feel like the word passion is actually like obsession because you've got to be obsessed to commit to doing that.
