All I can do is go out there and play hard and try and help my team win, and that's what I'm going to keep doing.

I have a very active social life. It may look glamorous, and it is, but it also takes an enormous amount of time.

My primary focus is going into a football game and having a turnover-free football game. That's my primary focus.

In track and field, Nike is all-powerful. They control the top coaches, athletes, races, even the governing body.

I expect to play golf until I am 90-even longer if anybody figures out a way to swing a club from a rocking chair.

Stress is like fire: When controlled and used for a purpose, it serves us well. Left unbridled, it can consume us.

I'm working hard every day to attain all of my goals. Winning the Super Bowl is obviously at the top of that list.

Hopefully, I can get multiple distances out there and re-establish myself as one of the best jumpers in the world.

If you put me against most sprinters in the world, I reckon over a start I could get very close, if not take them.

It's nice in that I have my track life and I have my school life, and so far I've been balancing them really well.

I'm definitely somebody who wants a college degree. My attitude is, if I'm going to do it I'm going to go full in.

I surround myself with people that have certain strengths that are my weaknesses so they push me in certain areas.

I lead by example. But if I get pissed enough, I'll say something. It usually isn't rah-rah; it's more complaining.

Yesterday is a cancelled check; Tomorrow is a promissory note; Today is the only cash you have, so spend it wisely.

Latin AP was a struggle. There were a lot of people in class drawing pictures during that, but I took it seriously.

Societal pressures can really force girls to look one specific way, when in reality there's not one way to be good.

Now that I'm officially signed with Nike to get to race with the Oregon Project, it's definitely a dream come true.

I love Chicago. I love the big city. But, remember, I come from a town, Lovington, N.M., that only has 8,000 people.

I don't have time to think about bad things, I'm always looking forward. Focusing on the positive, not the negative.

I believe that people make mistakes, but I also believe that you bounce back from those and I'm just moving forward.

I loved the feeling of freedom in running, the fresh air, the feeling that the only person I'm competing with is me.

Practice, which some regard as a chore, should be approached as just about the most pleasant recreation ever devised.

My whole feeling in terms of racing is that you have to be very bold. You sometimes have to be aggressive and gamble.

I believe in keeping running simple and, in regard to shoes, that would mean no gimmicks, unnecessary cushioning, etc

For getting lean and trying to get toned, it's not about having a low weight and maximising as many reps as possible.

Ultimately, you've got to answer your critics on the track, and I am very much hoping 8.41m is acceptable for people.

The human body is an incredible machine, but most people only get out of that machine what their mind allows them to.

I've spent years trying to time up my drops with my throws. You learn to listen to your feet and trust your positions.

I believe in keeping running simple and, in regard to shoes, that would mean no gimmicks, unnecessary cushioning, etc.

Due to the NFL lockout, I'm excited to be able to follow my childhood dream of playing for a Major League Soccer team.

I heard that women are attracted to bad boys, so every once in a while, I throw a recyclable into the regular garbage.

Being vegan doesn't make you a stronger, better athlete. But it allows you to make yourself a stronger, better athlete.

People like to have fun, and what better way to have fun than go to a football or baseball or basketball game in Vegas?

In each of my homes, I have a leopard room. I don't know why, but I do. It's like my lounge next to the dressing rooms.

Runners are the ultimate celebration people. Running is just so intense, you're really experiencing life to the fullest.

As a jumper, I try to defy gravity as long as I can. But no matter how far I jump, I'll always hit the earth eventually.

We think about all of our tomorrows, but we don't know how many there are, so let's start making the most of our Todays!

My main goal as a leader is to be a huge advocate in the community and I've done that and I want to continue to do that.

I believe becoming healthy and working out saved my life by giving me the confidence and self worth to achieve my goals.

It's an objective fact that I am a double amputee, but it's very subjective opinion as to whether that makes me disabled.

I think there are lot more lows in an athletes career than the highs, but you've got to be bale to take them on the chin.

For anyone beginning CrossFit I would say find a local affiliate and get there. They have coaches and a community set up.

The QB is going to be judged, fair or unfair, on success in the playoffs. You remember QBs who have won 3 or 4 Super Bowls

I always start the day with a protein shake: protein powder mixed with water, peanut butter, and yoghurt to thicken it up.

I take my three dogs for long walks every day, and I use that time to talk myself through winning every major competition.

I love the sport of track and field. If I can be the person to make it a big thing in this country, that would be amazing.

You are truly your own hero in running. It is up to you to have the responsibility and self-discipline to get the job done.

I hate the words 'handicapped' and 'disabled'. They imply that you are less than whole. I don't see myself that way at all.

I learned to ski at a young age and love it - but I don't get to do it as much as I'd like because of the risk of injuries.

I think the first time baby recognises me and smiles is going to be one of the most amazing times of my life, to be honest.
