Usain Bolt, Faster than Lightning: My Autobiography
"Thankfully, Coach had taught me a way of embracing the pain. He called that overwhelming rust of hurt 'The Moment of No Return', a point of pure agony when the body told an athlete to quit, to rest, because the pain was so damn tough. It was a tipping point. He reckoned that if an athlete dropped in The Moment, then all the pain that went before it was pointless, the muscles wouldn't increase their current strength. But if he could work through the pinch and run another two reps, maybe 3, them the body would physically improve in that time, and that was when an athlete grew stronger."

"الحمد لله، كان المدرب قد علمني طريقة لاحتضان الألم. كان يسمي ذلك الصدأ الطاغي من الوجع "لحظة اللاعودة"، وهي نقطة من العذاب المحض حيث يخبر الجسد الرياضي بالتوقف، بالراحة، لأن الألم كان شديد القسوة. كانت نقطة تحول. كان يرى أنه إذا استسلم الرياضي في تلك اللحظة، فإن كل الألم الذي سبقها كان بلا جدوى، ولن تزداد قوة العضلات الحالية. أما إذا استطاع أن يتجاوز تلك اللحظة الحرجة ويؤدي تكرارين آخرين، ربما ثلاثة، فإن الجسد سيتحسن جسدياً في ذلك الوقت، وعندها يزداد الرياضي قوة."
