It's not just the NFL. Every other league has a draft. It has been fundamental to the success of professional sports.
Every time I toe the rubber, it's no different for me than it was in the World Series.
Even though I play a professional sport now, I love college baseball
If I get two strikes, I'll go to a pitch maybe that will help induce that a little bit.
It was an exciting time for me personally because the number of times I've been to the playoffs, that was the opportunity to obtain the first ring. That was special, that's for sure.
I've always been very impatient. At age 10 I frankly found life boring, and I can remember age 9 having the awful thought, as it seems now looking back on it, A war! That should liven things up a bit!
I lived on the top of one hill and the school was at the top of another hill. Nobody ever went to school by car - we didn't have any cars during the war. So that to and from school was itself a training.
I came from such a simple origin, without any great privilege, and I would say I also wanted to make a mark. It wasn't until I was about 15 that I appeared in a race.
Sports are too much with us. Late and soon, sitting and watching - mostly watching on television - we lay waste our powers of identification and enthusiasm and, in time, attention as more and more closing rallies and crucial putts and late field goals and final playoffs and sudden deaths and world records and world championships unreel themselves ceaselessly before our half-lidded eyes.
I love both the sun and the moon, day and night. But I enjoy the day the most because I live in Rio and I can play sports.
I never faced a pitcher with better stuff than Nolan Ryan.
You don't have to be in shape to bowl. It's the only sport where there's a way to signal for a cocktail waitress.
Cycling is a sport of amazing athletes. Its been a privilege and a honor for me to be in this sport and to have a chance to race at the highest level.
I try to find more education in the sport while helping people who are trying to be better at whatever they are trying to achieve. That is probably the thing I love most about coaching.
As much as I love coaching the masters, junior cycling is obviously the future of our sport.
There are tons of ways women can get into the sport easly. I think it is not as intimidating as many people think it is.
I think racing is a sport that either your in or your out. Its either you are with the pack or you are off the pack.
I think the sport of cycling is different then racing. The sport is just about being healthy and giving yourself an outlet so it's a easy sport to do and I think there are more and more women cycling everyday.
Everyday on the bike is a different day. Just when you think your on top, you find yourself towards the back of the pack. It is probably the hardest sport I ever done it continues to be challenging and different.
You cannot have that attitude of where I am going to tuck my tail between my legs and go home. You have to keep going back for more. That's why cycling is a very competitive sport. You have to have determination and drive to train hard and put forth a good effort.
Leadership is a team sport - learning to work with others is a critical skill. This means articulating a clear vision, setting priorities, giving coaching, getting coaching and learning to seek advice from the team. All these activities
You can't completely control the sport - Tiger Woods comes close. The test is against yourself and nature's own way. I find golf a particularly good metaphor for this story.
I'm not much interested in sport just as sport. I wouldn't be interested in making a golf film or baseball or fishing film.
The important thing about a sport is the people who devote their lives to it.
The person who proclaimed me Best Dressed Man never saw me in my sport outfit.
