To look back on your journey — including all the choices you’ve made along the way — and, regardless of the outcome, have no regrets.

Having no regrets means having no excuses! It means being able to look back at every choice you made, every action you took, every word you spoke, and know that you did everything you could to be the best you could be when it mattered most. By living up to your full potential, or at least trying your best to, you will be far less likely to have regrets than if you settle for mediocrity, the easy path, or don’t push past the obstacles and excuses that stand in the way of achieving your big goals. Every choice I made en route to the Olympics was with my final goal in mind. No excuses. No regrets. Peace of mind.
