I Think The Greatest Amount

I Am Very Determined And The Sport Is My Passion. I Believe I Am Born For Running.

My Feelings Tried To Control Me On My Run. I Had To Concentrate Fully On Forthcoming Running And Success. I Wanted To Triumph.

Twenty Seconds Before A Race, There's Absolute Focus. The Key Thing Is To Achieve Relaxation, But At The Same To Have Absolute Total Control. You've Got To Find The Balance Between Being Totally Ready To Go And Being Really At Peace With Yourself As Well.

I Have Been Told Many Times That When I Win I Make My People Proud To Be Australian. I Am Aboriginal, I Am One Of Them And Every Time I Win Or Am Honoured Like This It Should Be An Example To Aboriginal People Who May Think They Have Nowhere To Go But Down. But More Importantly I Am An Australian And I Would Like To Make All Australians Feel Proud To Be Australian. Ours Is A Truly Multicultural Society And Should Be United As Such. I Would Like To Believe That My Successes Are Celebrated By All Australians, Bringing Our Nation Together.

I'm Certainly Not Ready To Go Changing The World Overnight Right Now. I'm Completely Uninformed About A Lot Of Our Issues, A Lot Of The Nation's Issues, Not Just Indigenous Issues.
