Sprinter Quotes

You find sprinters testing other sprinters' mental capability. But these are my good friends on the track. I don't think we need to do that. Donovan Bailey
A short story is a sprint, a novel is a marathon. Sprinters have seconds to get from here to there and then they are finished. Marathoners have to carefully pace themselves so that they don't run out of energy (or in the case of the novelist-- ideas) because they have so far to run. To mix the metaphor, writing a short story is like having a short intense affair, whereas writing a novel is like a long rich marriage. Jonathan Carroll
Robertson Davies quote: "Love affairs are for emotional sprinters; the pleasures of..."
Love affairs are for emotional sprinters; the pleasures of love are for the emotional marathoners. Robertson Davies
I am a bit different from the other sprinters because, I would say, I can run many different ways while the other guys they just came on and they can only run one way. Asafa Powell
In swimming at my level it's about control of the small movements. A good ballet dancer floats across the stage, the best sprinters virtually abolish gravity. All motion occurs in the right direction. Alexander Dale Oen
Dan O'Brien quote: "You need to become more than one type of athlete. You have to..."
You need to become more than one type of athlete. You have to be a sprinter, a weight man and a distance guy all in one. Dan O'Brien
We are making a little portion of their brains be sprinters; they are 100 percent football players, but for these purposes, they must learn the proper way to run. Ato Boldon
I am basically turning football players into sprinters for a while. When we first talked about it, I didn't know how my expertise could be used. Ato Boldon
Mary Lou Retton quote: "As a kid, I was a pretty good little sprinter."
As a kid, I was a pretty good little sprinter. Mary Lou Retton
Life is often compared to a marathon, but I think it is more like being a sprinter; long stretches of hard work punctuated by brief moments in which we are given the opportunity to perform at our best. Michael Johnson
It's always been too slow for me. Playing. The pace of things. I'm a fast sprinter. The trouble was, after playing in the group for a few months, I couldn't reach that point. Syd Barrett
