Daley Thompson is arguably the greatest athlete that has ever lived. He dominated the decathlon, one of the hardest Olympic events.

As a child, Daley wanted to be the best at something in the world. For most of his early years he wanted to be a footballer, until he was introduced to athletics and, in particular, the decathlon.

The decathlon, involves the following ten events: 100 metres, 400 metres, 1500 metres, 110 metres hurdles, long jump, high jump, pole vault, discus, javelin and shot-put.

Daley had an strong and powerful belief about himself that allowed him to tackle an event with so many disciplines.
