Bruce Jenner Olympic Athlete Motivational Speaker – 11 Motivational Quotes
Great people devote their lives to achieving a single goal and follow it all the way through.
Whether that is to compose a breathtaking musical arrangement, help the impoverished or shave a few hundredth of a second off of your time it takes a lot of motivation to keep going.
In order to follow your goal it usually means giving up on many other things in life, so the motivation you need will have to come more from within yourself than from friends and family.
As an Olympic gold medallist Bruce Jenner is one such individual that had to go without so he could accomplish his goal of winning a gold medal at the Olympics.
Bruce Jenner captivated the world and became the World's Greatest Athlete when he won the gold medal for the decathlon at the 1976 Olympic games in Montreal.
Today Bruce Jenner is a professional speaker who motivates and captivates audiences around the world.
His message, "Finding the Champion Within" is relevant to people everywhere, whether they're high school athletes or corporate vice presidents.
Bruce's passion with working with dyslexia and as a motivational speaker has gained him national attention and he has become one of the most quotable Olympic athletes around.
The following are 11 of my favourite Bruce Jenner quotes:
1 - “When the time comes for your brain to process the information, the second word comes up faster than the first one. So when it's in your head, all of a sudden, it comes out backwards and you think of the word backwards.”
2 - “The truth is everybody does it from time to time. People dial telephone numbers and they get a wrong number only to find that they've read the last two digits backwards. Everybody does it, but dyslexics have this tendency to a higher degree.”
3 - “The biggest problem with dyslexic kids is not the perceptual problem, it is their perception of themselves. That was my biggest problem.”
4 - “If I wasn't dyslexic, I probably wouldn't have won the Games. If I had been a better reader, then that would have come easily, sports would have come easily... and I never would have realized that the way you get ahead in life is hard work.”
5 - “If you want to take your mission in life to the next level, if you're stuck and you don't know how to rise, don't look outside yourself. Look inside. Don't let your fears keep you mired in the crowd. Abolish your fears and raise your commitment level to the point of no return, and I guarantee you that the Champion Within will burst forth to propel you toward victory.”
6 - “To me, the definition of focus is knowing exactly where you want to be today, next week, next month, next year, then never deviating from your plan. Once you can see, touch and feel your objective, all you have to do is pull back and put all your strength behind it, and you'll hit your target every time.”
7 - “I learned that the only way you are going to get anywhere in life is to work hard at it. Whether you're a musician, a writer, an athlete or a businessman, there is no getting around it. If you do, you'll win - if you don't, you won't.”
8 - “Waving the flag at the 1976 Olympics wasn't my idea. It was too much apple pie and ice cream. Not that I don't love my country, but I felt it was my victory up there, I put all the time into it.”
9 - “Nobody has milked one performance better than me - and I'm damned proud of it.”
10 - “Start early and begin raising the bar throughout the day.”
11 - “It caused more problems as a young kid, because the simple process of perceiving words on a piece of paper was hard for me. Many people think dyslexic people see things backwards. They don't see things backwards.”
