sports school college
I was a pitcher, shortstop and outfielder, and the Yankees tried to sign me out of high school as a first-round draft pick in 1981. I turned them down to go to college.
sports running morning
I was the type of guy that used to get up in the morning and go out and just out run everybody on the field without stretching or warming up or anything.
sports school college
It occurred to me in my junior year of high school. I got my first letter from a big college. I still have that letter to this day - a letter from Indiana.
sports missing teammate
If I miss anything about the sport, it's the camaraderie of old teammates.
sports running people
Back when I was training, probably the only nutritious thing on the market was Gatorade-that's all that we knew. But now in this day and age, people are more prone to go out to try new things to enhance their performance on the field-to enhance their physical appearance. I am a firm believer in if you can't get it the old fashioned way, you don't need it. You have a lot of people on the run and really don't have time to sit down and eat a balanced meal.
sports guy underdog
My favorite driver is always either the bad guy or the underdog.
sports needs way
I am a firm believer in if you can't get it the old fashioned way, you don't need it.
basketball soccer sports
I also tell them that your education can take you way farther than a football, baseball, track, or basketball will - that's just the bottom line.
sports running insomnia
I have no problem with my hips - I can still do the things that I used to do. I can run, I'm just not the fastest person on the field anymore.
life sports knows
Don't sell yourself short because without that you can't go far in life because after sports the only thing you know is sports and you can't do anything else with that.
sports fire fans
I guarantee you that's what Jeff Gordon does. He uses everything the fans throw at him to stoke his fire and it drives him to be better at what he does.
sports fathers-day kids
I would say my greatest achievement in life right now - my greatest achievement period is - and I'm still trying to achieve it - is to be a wonderful father to my kids.
soccer sports running
My workout was running down fly balls, stealing a base, or running for my life on the football field.
sports baseball football
Baseball and football are very different games. In a way, both of them are easy. Football is easy if you're crazy as hell. Baseball is easy if you've got patience. They'd both be easier for me if I were a little more crazy - and a little more patient.
