So, I know that much, but for me, anything they want to do, I'm just going to support them. That's always a key thing: Just support your child in whatever they want to do. So if they don't want to run, if they don't want to do sports, I'm okay with it.”
He went on to add that if one of his three kids did choose to run, he would love to cheer on them on from the stands as the compete on the world’s biggest stages.
"It would be wonderful to sit in the stands and watch any one of them just to compete. That's a high level, and even to win, it would be a dream come true. But as I said, I won't pressure. I won't pressure, but it would be a great experience as a dad, as an Olympian, to watch your kid as an Olympian, running with the Olympians.”
