“Olympic athletes have to find a job right after they're done competing...” — Apolo Ohno Quote

“Olympic athletes have to find a job right after they're done competing.”

“My life has always been with my dad. Since I can remember, I was raised by my father my entire life. So he's kind of been that mom and father figure - always.”

“My mantra has always been to have zero regrets in life. Everything I do at one speed, I go all-out.”

“At age 12, or even eight or nine, athletes were my role models. So when I would say I wanted to be the best, it was just because I was seeing my idols and wanted to do that. I don't think it necessarily was the most realistic thought process.”

“As athletes, most of the time we deal with fans cussing at us, saying how much we suck.”

“I was kind of unproven. I didn't play in a high-profile school, and with that comes the notion that, 'He's not ready.' I felt I had questions to answer. Was I going to be ready to play against elite-level athletes?”
