It’s terrible, I know, but I will admit I was a really lazy kid. It was Bronte who would wake me up in the morning, go to training early, and take in some tips from the older training group. I would be there grumbling and complaining. After she began to reap the rewards of her labour, it definitely kindled a fire. Cate Campbell Read Quote
All’s fair in love and war and sport – even when you’re fighting against your sister. Cate Campbell Read Quote
I can’t imagine what I would be doing if I wasn’t swimming. It is what I want to do now; it is what I want to do in the foreseeable future, and that is what I’m focusing on. Cate Campbell Read Quote
Swimming a 50 m is like playing the pokies: you push a button, and you never know what is going come up; it may be a mixed bag. Cate Campbell Read Quote
Choosing between the 50 m and 100 m is like choosing between your children. I have favourites on different days. Cate Campbell Read Quote
I really rely on sleep, and some people call me ‘The Bear’ for my hibernating. Cate Campbell Read Quote
My job isn’t to create history; it’s to go out there and perform at my best. Cate Campbell Read Quote
We’ve seen, time and again, when people focus on the outcome rather than what needs to be done to achieve a desirable result, then the wheels fall off. Cate Campbell Read Quote
It’s about never giving up until your hand is on the wall. I think people who get complacent, who think that they are in front, a sloppy touch, can cost you that elusive medal, just as much as the people who are gunning for you. If you believe you can get there right to the very end, miracles do happen. Cate Campbell Read Quote
I tend to be that swimmer that doesn’t look like she is trying, but is actually dying on the inside. It’s a little bit unfortunate because people are, like, ‘Can you just try harder?’ I was, like, ‘If you can see what’s going on in my head right now, you wouldn’t be telling me that.’ Cate Campbell Read Quote
