Discipline Quote by Colin Jackson
“To avoid false starts you need to work on your discipline and wait for your triggers. And if you start doing false starts you're putting yourself under pressure, and that's the last thing you need. You've got six or seven other guys up against you, so you don't need to give yourself extra things to worry about.”
