soccer football baseball
I have been a fan all my life, but now I have been out of football for over 10 years, and out of baseball for a little over six years and I don't go to games.
soccer baseball football
Whenever I wasn't watching the planes, I was playing community baseball, football, or something like that.
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.
soccer sports running
My workout was running down fly balls, stealing a base, or running for my life on the football field.
soccer baseball football
I was always active - I went from baseball to football. I didn't have time to work out.
soccer football mother
If my mother put on a helmet and shoulder pads and a uniform that wasn't the same as the one I was wearing, I'd run over her if she was in my way. And I love my mother.
baseball focused
So you have to be more mentally focused in baseball.
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.
kids years six
I've always played with kids that were five, six, seven years older than me.
running wall thinking
I think everyone would love to see Jeff Gordon lose or get run into the wall, but I think he uses that - similar to me.
mom home play
I wanted to stay close enough so mom could see me play - where I could go home if I needed to.
summer jobs smart
The only thing I would change is during the summer - when I was working my summer job, if I was smart, I would have taken flying lessons at Auburn.
games firsts never-forget
The first game was against Wake Forrest - I'll never forget that game.
