I'm proud of the way I've dealt with setbacks. It's hard when you feel down and you think, 'Why is the world doing this to me?' But you have to pick yourself up again. That's what makes you a better athlete. Jessica Ennis athletedealfeel share on social
I was around 15 when I first wanted to compete in an Olympics. I even remember the first time I got to wear a GB kit as a junior. I've even kept it. It's in my mum's loft somewhere, probably gone mouldy by now. Jessica Ennis competehavejunior share on social

People who aren't perhaps that into sport are going to be following me and wanting to be part of the Olympics. That definitely does bring added pressure but as an athlete the Olympics are the ultimate competition. Jessica Ennis addathletebring share on social
It's really important for me to look good before a race. I definitely think if I feel I look good, it makes me feel more confident. Jessica Ennis confidentfeelgood Change image and share on social
It's quite funny in that I once won Rear of the Year at my school! I was about 17 in the sixth form and we used to have an end of year celebration and give out different awards. I even got a little trophy! Jessica Ennis awardcelebrationend share on social
I love getting dressed up for red carpet events and having my hair and makeup done professionally - that definitely helps with nerves of going down the red carpet. Jessica Ennis carpetdressevent Change image and share on social
I think there's going to be pressure on all the British athletes. It's a home Olympics at the end of the day. I like adrenaline, that's something I feed off. I'm just going to go out there and do my best. Jessica Ennis adrenalineathletebritish share on social
Things have changed so much, with Facebook and Twitter. Everyone is so much more accessible these days: no British athlete has ever experienced what we are experiencing now. It's such a unique situation with the home Olympics. Jessica Ennis accessibleathletebritish share on social
