More quotes by Haile Gebrselassie
I have to change a lot of things before I become a good marathon runner.
Haile Gebrselassie
Once you have commitment, you need the discipline and hard work to get you there.
Haile Gebrselassie
Some people start a sport just to reduce weight, or some say, 'My doctor ordered me to run and do exercise', and for others, they run for completely different benefits. But it is not like that with sport. We need to eat, we need to rest, but also we need to run.
Haile Gebrselassie
My father thought sport was something fun - he didn't know it was a way to make money.
Haile Gebrselassie
Athletes have to be confident and I am thinking like that.
Haile Gebrselassie
Since I achieved something, running has exploded in my country.
Haile Gebrselassie
You know, I want to help my country. Definitely I can help them, simply by winning races. Sure, they can follow my path to a good career. But for me it is not enough. I want to be more than that. In everything I want to be a role model.
Haile Gebrselassie
I have seen things few of my countrymen have. The first time I went on an aeroplane I couldn't work out how the lavatories worked up in the sky.
Haile Gebrselassie
You know the marathon in my country is just exceptional. It's like soccer in England. If England win the world cup and Ethiopia win the marathon - it's the same.
Haile Gebrselassie
Always, if you win mentally, you can win physically as well.
Haile Gebrselassie
You need three things to win: discipline, hard work and, before everything maybe, commitment. No one will make it without those three. Sport teaches you that.
Haile Gebrselassie
For me a day without training is like a day without eating.
Haile Gebrselassie
I used to run to school, 10k every day. And this at altitude, perfect preparation, really.
Haile Gebrselassie
Why should I say I will retire in three or four years? You retire the very moment you utter those words.
Haile Gebrselassie
When I wake up at 5 in the morning is it just to jog? Definitely not, I give it all of my efforts.
Haile Gebrselassie
When you promise something, you must fulfill it.
Haile Gebrselassie
In my life I do a lot of things but I never forget my training.
Haile Gebrselassie
The more you are getting older, you lose a little something. Of course there is another advantage, because of your long experience you can use it.
Haile Gebrselassie
That is not enough. Sport has been great for me, a great learning place that if you want to achieve you can, even if you are from the poorest part of Africa.
Haile Gebrselassie
In the marathon a crazy athlete can just keep pushing from the beginning, at a championship you don't need a time just to win the race.
