If you're in California, and it's raining, stay home because nobody can drive in the rain. It's like it's raining frogs. They're terrified.
The more you're competing, the higher the level is in training. That means the quality is going to be higher on a Saturday, Wednesday or whenever we're playing.
At times you've got to be patient, and that's it. I just take it; another good training week, train hard and train strong, look to perform there and hopefully start at the weekend.
It's not just about training, it's about playing competitive football.
It's always good, even in training, to show the manager what you can do and remind him.
For the Olympics, I'm mostly training in the gym, so I'm running laps on the standard speed wall.
I've never had problems about passionate motivation to just keep climbing and keep training and pushing.
Every December I take two or three weeks off. After an entire season of training and climbing, my body needs the break.
I've been going to the same barber the last few years, and we have great chats whenever I'm in the chair. He'll ask: 'How you doing? How's the training going?' Just ordinary, obvious things, but then, like you do with your barber, you start talking about personal stuff.
I love tuning into Radio 1 on a Friday night after training and hearing the new stuff.
