course hope might moment throughout time
I think you hope, throughout the course of your career, if you do things right often enough, you might get a moment in time that you can do something special.
anyone ask autographs eating meal sign taught
I don't sign autographs when I'm out for a meal or out with my kids. I think that's rude and disrespectful. I would never ask anyone for an autograph while they were eating dinner; that's what I was taught by my parents.
I enjoy being a role model for kids.
expecting faster finals last performance previous seconds state terrific time
He was terrific at state last year. His time in the finals was about 3 seconds faster than his previous best. I'm really expecting a lot this year; he set me up for that with his performance last year.

There is no privacy in our culture anymore, so I have to try and carve that out for myself, but I'm OK with it.

Three mornings a week, I exercise before eating - it's called 'fasted cardio' - to burn fat.
basically came comments hours liked report seemed spent teachers whatsoever year
I wasn't a troublemaker. I wasn't impertinent. The teachers liked me. But year after year, the comments on my report cards basically came down to a single point, and it was 100% accurate: I seemed to get nothing whatsoever out of all those long hours spent in the classroom.
sports
I was a pretty popular kid, and I participated in every sport.

When you're not needed somewhere, it never feels great.
coaches dictate harder headaches hours ideas liked work
I think I have some ideas on coaching, but listen, coaches work harder than players. The hours they put in, the headaches that they have. That's the one thing I've never liked about coaching. They have all the emotion, passion and preparation without actually getting to be able to dictate what happens.
concentration front serious soon stronger
As soon as things get serious in front of the goal, I don't have any twitches... It's probably because at that moment, my concentration on the game is stronger than the Tourette syndrome.
cool
I'm on television, ticcing and twitching. I think that's kind of cool.
good
Pressure can be good. It helps you to see what you're all about.
