I wasn’t the kind of kid who would get A’s without even trying. I had to work to get good grades, but I was very organised about it because I always wanted to do well at everything I did. I’m very competitive. Jessica Ennis-Hill Read Quote

There was a massive poster of me down my road, right outside the chip shop. I was about to go in, but then I saw it and changed my mind. Me coming out with a bag of chips, while I’m up there doing crunches on the poster… well, it would not look good. Jessica Ennis-Hill Read Quote
I dislike conflict, so I do try and steer clear of arguments. Apart from with my coach. Who I literally have an argument with every day. Jessica Ennis-Hill Read Quote
My idea of beauty is somebody that doesn’t have to try too much, someone who is effortless and fresh. Jessica Ennis-Hill Read Quote
