Stand-Out Quotes
“Honestly, I think stepping away from Ironman really made me realize how not balanced I was in life—I was all-consumed because my job was my hobby and my hobby was my job.”
“I think athletes tend to be focused more on athletes, but like, what else drives you? What else motivates you?”
“When it comes to the spirituality, whether it’s a church, a house of God, or whether it’s you on your bike, riding in the mountains…Some people may not believe in God and that’s totally fine, but I always want to try to emphasize trying to find that sole purpose of why you’re on this earth.”
“I think the family part can be challenging when it comes to life balance because you are dealing with other human beings. By all means, I am not perfect…when I looked at my priority pie, I was solid on my physical health, solid on my creativity, solid with my work, my spirituality. But I can tell you, my family was pretty low.”
