„In sports, you learn competition means go after it, win it. And not to let anything else interfere. It’s something you learn, and it sticks with you. I consider myself an expert in looking into a particular idea or goal and then going after it without anything else in mind… It’s always the same kind of thing. You pick a goal, and then you just go after it, accomplish it, and get satisfaction out of that.“

— Arnold Schwarzenegger
