Jean-Claude Killy

"The best and fastest way to learn a sport is to watch and imitate a champion."

I prefer the first quotation by Jean-Claude Killy. I think that Killy is right because a champion is a professional, he always trains, so he has a lot of experience and good technique. If you adore a champion, watch him, imitate him and perhaps you will be like him! Believe in yourself, it's the advice I give to everybody who wants to become a professional!

Muhammad Ali

"The man who has no imagination has no wings."

I prefer the second quotation by Muhammad Ali for many reasons. I think the shortest quotations are the best ones. They say many things in fewer words. This quotation can't be used only for the world of sport. Have you ever dreamt that you could fly? If you haven't, maybe you haven't got any imagination. You don't win with your technique? Imagine a new one and find out which one is the best. I think Muhammad Ali is really intelligent.

Mary Pickford

"You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call failure is not the falling down but the staying down."

I like Mary Pickford's quotation because it gives courage to people. She incites people to persevere in their dreams, in their jobs, with their families, all their lives. She says you mustn't be a coward, you must try to solve your problems. If you lose something, a match, a battle, you mustn't be desperate and you have to continue your fight. To stop your failures, you can improve yourself but stopping everything is stupid. The quotation explains in just a few words that life is short and you must take advantage of it and be strong in your minds.

Jean Claude Killy

"The best and fastest way to learn a sport is to watch and imitate a champion."

I think that what Jean-Claude Killy says is right for any sport. You have to find your idol, with this you have motivation:To be as strong as he is. What is better than playing like a champion? For this, you have to watch him and to be very attentive. The way he plays is very helpful because when he plays, he doesn't watch anything he does with his body and you're the only one that can say what is wrong and what is right. Then, when it's your turn to play, you know what you've got to do, what is good for you.
