“I went through a change in my life and my career where I finally understood how to train and prepare. I finally understood what it meant, and I've had so many fantasies about being able to go back and be 16 again. And redo parts of my high school career. Redo all of my college career. Redo my attempt to make an Olympic team.” AbleSchoolCareersFantasyTeamCollegeUnderstoodHigh SchoolTrainChanging My LifeRedos Author:Chael Sonnen
“I go to practice every day. I really don't have a training camp. In the boxing world, and that's where that came from, almost every time a guy would get out of the ring and he wouldn't break a sweat again until he went to his next training camp. He would do absolutely nothing until he started training for the next fight.” WorldGuyFightingNextBreakPracticeTrainingRingsBoxingCampsSweatAbsolutely NothingTraining Camp Author:Chael Sonnen
“I go to practice each and every day, but my intensity is not the same. If I get tired, I'll go sit down. If I want some water, I'll go drink it. When I'm in training camp, I don't. I've got to push through being tired. I've got to push through being uncomfortable. That's really it. It's largely a mentality. You kind of flip that switch and turn your intensity up. Your heart rate goes up. Your reps go up. And you start to get in the frame of mind.” IfsWantMindHeartKindTurnsWaterPracticeDrinkTrainingTiredRateUncomfortableCampsIntensityMentalityFlipFrame Of MindHeart RateTraining Camp Author:Chael Sonnen
“As soon as you hear a fighter say, "I'm working smarter, not harder," you always want to bet against that guy. That mentality does not work. You have to work hard.

“A lot of people have a fear of Shakespeare. Even actors do. People are like, "Oh, I won't go and see Shakespeare because the language is so hard," but it is. When you read it on the page, you go, "What?! What does that mean?!" If you go to a Shakespeare play and you've never been, you sit there and go, "I'm an idiot! I don't get it!"” PeopleIfsMeanDoeHardPlayActorsLanguagePagesIdiotShakespeare Play Author:Hugo Weaving
“The biggest challenge for me, as an actor, is to be informed, prepared and focused, at the same time. I had to just keep on working, prepping, reading and imagining, all the way through, but the biggest challenge is always to let go of all that and just be open to others. That's what we do, as actor. We play with each other and we stimulate each other, and we have to be prepared to be stimulated by the other. That's always my big challenge.” WayPlayBigsReadingActorsChallengesLetting GoPreparedFocusedBe PreparedBig Challenges Author:Hugo Weaving
