diagnosed difficulty early peak performance proper reach received treatment until workouts
Early in my career, I had difficulty breathing during workouts and my performance on the ice suffered. It wasn't until I was diagnosed with EIB and received the proper treatment that I was able to reach my peak performance.
athlete work-out schedules
I've been an athlete most of my life and on a disciplined schedule. Working out for me is just part of my every day.
hard-work successful sacrifice
We all naturally want to become successful... we also want to take shortcuts. And it's easy to do so, but you can never take away the effort of hard work and discipline and sacrifice.
beach workout intense-training
My 'go to' workout is called the Asylum from Beach Body. It's intense training with lots of intervals, core work. It's hard! I travel a lot, so I can take it on the road with me and do it in a hotel room.
hard-work perfect style
Broadcasting is definitely in my cards for the future, and I'm determined to work hard at it - to perfect it and create my style and niche.
workout years guy
One things guys have to remember is consistency... You can't make up for three years of eating poorly in just one workout.
everybody extra flight life run start staying walk wants whether work
It's about having an active lifestyle, staying healthy, and making the right decisions. Life is about balance. Not everybody wants to run a marathon, but we could all start working out and being active, whether you walk to work or take an extra flight of stairs.
focus time
Competitions, our preparation, our time and our focus are much different than most people.
asian best bothered built certain directed energy grew growing korean later negative pedestal people realized resulting stand using
I was really bothered by it. I grew up around many Asian cultures, Korean one of them. A lot of my best friends were Korean growing up. I just didn't understand. Later on I realized that was built up by certain people and that was directed at me, negative energy from other things, not even resulting around the sport, but around politics, using me to stand on the pedestal as the anti-American sentiment.
definitely
I think I'm better all around as a skater. Physically, I think I'm definitely stronger. I'm lighter, I'm leaner, I know a lot more about my body.
line
I thought I got (Li) at the line anyway.
finish four olympics
To finish the Olympics like this with these four guys, there is nothing like it.
almost far forward lost speed
I got too far forward with my skates. I lost a lot of speed and almost went down.
gold good
Right now, he's a gold medalist at 1,500. And so am I. It'll make for a very good heat.
