Being the 8th out of 10 kids, and being the one that stayed in trouble, I sort of became a momma's boy.
american-athlete
First of all, I really never imagined myself being a professional athlete.

bridges trying ems
I'm the type of person, I cross the bridges once I get to 'em. I don't try to plan my life three, four months in advance, because you don't know if tomorrow's promised to you.
basketball successful play
I'll never worry about not being successful. I'll just take it one day at a time, one season at a time. And play as hard as I can.

I hate to blow my own horn, but I gave a lot of people fits.
distance school kids
I was always the fastest and strongest kid in my school so events like the 100 meter and discus throwing attracted me. I could throw the discus for great distance s without the proper spin and throw technique.
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 missing teammate
If I miss anything about the sport, it's the camaraderie of old teammates.
running people down-and
You have a lot of people on the run and really don't have time to sit down and eat a balanced meal.
track letters recruitment
So, I got a lot of recruitment letters from track.
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.
