Q&A With Jillion Potter

What is your music of choice while training?
I am pretty open to any music while training. I let my teammates choose the music since many of them have (very) strong preferences. But my favorite motivational song is the National Anthem.

Personal motto?
"Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion." - Muhammad Ali

When you have time off, what would constitute a perfect day for you?
Sleeping in and having a nice cup of coffee with my wife. We would open up the windows and doors to allow fresh air in the house or sit out on the balcony and read while enjoying our coffee. We would go for a trail run or go workout, or practice yoga and then come home and relax. We enjoy cooking meals together and watching a movie.

Do you have pets?
No, but [my wife] Carol and I cannot wait to have a puppy together after the Olympics!

If you were not an athlete, what would you like to be doing? 
I would like to own and operate my own coffee shop or cafe.
