But now, I get up every morning and go to the gym because I don't like waking up stiff or in pain and wondering if my hip is going to hurt me.

I've always played with kids that were five, six, seven years older than me.

Back before I injured my hip, I thought going to the gym was for wimps.

I am my own person. What I'm doing, I'm happy with it. I'm doing what I want to.

I hate to blow my own horn, but I gave a lot of people fits.

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.

I was the type of guy that used to get up in the morning and go out and just out run everybody on the field without stretching or warming up or anything.
