protect yourself so nothing can get to you when you want to be a champion you have to be very cold according to you, very cold. Well okay, I have to explain to you that this means that especially the two or three months before a competition you should keep your emotional level to

a low. When you get involved, for instance, two months before competition with a woman and you fall in love and that energy falling in love takes away from your energy in the gymnasium then obviously that's gonna hurt your progress. So therefore you have to again

find out or ask yourself what do you want in your life? Do you want to fall in love? Do you want to be married? You want to have children and go on with the everyday life like all the other millions of people do, or do you want to

be the one person who is the best? So therefore you have to cut this off and go your road and don't go sidetracked, stay cold.
