One minute you're a developing athlete trying to get to the top, then the next minute you do well and win a medal somewhere, and then it's all foisted on you. You never know when it's going to happen. You don't think about the media side of things when you're a young athlete trying to do well.
If you make decisions based upon people's reactions or judgments then you make really boring choices.
For me, I don't like it when there is too much interference in our lives. We're not children. It is our own life in our hands.
