based florida recruiting speed stronger success teams
Speed kills. Teams are recruiting differently based on the success we've had at Florida State. Now, bigger, faster, stronger is everybody's motto.
athletes brighten definitely eyes feeling football great help inside light looked players warm
I think it's important for football players to give back to the community. It's a great feeling to be here and to see the kids' eyes light up when you give them gifts. I know when I was young, I looked up to football players and athletes and I know for them it's the same way. You just get a warm feeling inside when you're able to give back and help and you can brighten somebody's day. It's definitely a positive.
broke good physical strong
He's as good as advertised. He's a big, strong physical back (and) broke some tackles.
afraid pull run
He's just so strong. He's not afraid to pull it down. He's not going to slide; he's going to try run over you and he's going to try and run around you.
helped pressure younger
Being able to put pressure on the younger quarterback helped us out.
focused penn state
I just think we're focused on the Penn State game. I think things will happen, but we can't let it take away from this game.
angel people together
Partnerships can be very big. The relationships you cultivate can help. If you put together a business plan that makes sense and that you can present to other people, they may be able to help you out, especially if you're short of cash. Angel investors, perhaps, may help. You may not have to go through a traditional bank. If you're not able to secure funding, you can get up under someone who has experience, learn from that person, and work your way up.
football jobs fall
The NFL has done a great job in giving players information on how to go to a second career after football and how to invest their money while they're playing to ensure when their career is over, that they have something else in place to fall back on. One of the big things the NFL does is promote education in different fields.
struggle people needs
I tend to go with things people need. Obviously with the barbershop, people will need haircuts regardless of the economy. In a down economy, I choose businesses that don't require a lot of start-up cash or a cash injection on a regular basis. They might need some initially, but not often after. Rental of properties is a good business in a down economy as people struggle with mortgages.
football giving entrepreneur
I spend a lot of my downtime studying different businesses and learning from a lot of entrepreneurs when I'm not playing football. They can help me evaluate different ventures to see if they'll work. I was aggressive with my initial investments, trying to hit a homerun each time. But now, I'm stepping back and being more patient, giving them due diligence.
ideas people seasons
I don't have a lot of time for managing [my businesses], so I put a lot of trust in people I hire to manage my businesses. I can't necessarily attend to [the businesses] while I'm in season. We swap ideas on how we can improve and deliver a better product.
team people needs
Study and keep your attention on whatever it is you're going into. Build a good team. The team needs to know what it's doing They need to be people you can trust and people you can work well with.
learning matter opposed playing standing
I'm not opposed to it. Playing standing up would play to my strengths, but it's just a matter of learning new responsibilities.
anybody time
I'm going to make time for anybody that has a first-round pick.
