There are many people who could be Olympic champions. It's easy to be great because great people will help you. I’d     five million people could have     me in the pole vault (撑杆跳) the years I won it, at     five million. Men who were stronger and faster than I was could have done it, but they never     a pole, never made the     to pick their legs off the ground to try to get over the bar.

Greatness is all     us. It’s easy to be great because great people will help you. What is fantastic about all the conventions I go to is     the greatest in the business will come and share their ideas, their methods and their     with everyone else. I have seen the greatest men open up and show young people exactly how they did it. They don’t      .

I’ll never forget the time I was        to break Dutch Warmer Dam’s record. I was about a foot     his record, so I called him on the phone. I said, "Dutch, can you     me? I seem to have leveled off. I can’t get any higher."

He said, “     , Bob, come to visit me and I’ll give you all I got.” I     three days with the master, the greatest pole vaulter in the world. For three days, Dutch gave me    that he’d seen. To make a long     short, I went up eight inches. That great guy gave me the best that he had. I’ve found that sports champions and heroes     do this just to help you become great, too.

Great people will share and will tell you their     . Look for them, call them on the phone or buy their books. Go     they are, get around them, and talk to them. It is     to be great when you get around great people.
