I think the athletes respond well to me because I have been successful. I know what it takes to get to the top. I know what psychological games to play and the importance of mental power.
I think it`s great that they are getting funding, but it`s just too easy. They don`t have to work for it. We did it because we had pride, because we loved it.
My first love is the sport, and it will always be my priority.
