Don't put off until tomorrow the loving words you can say today.

Don't sell yourself short because without that you can't go far in life because after sports the only thing you know is sports and you can't do anything else with that.

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.

I would say my greatest achievement in life right now - my greatest achievement period is - and I'm still trying to achieve it - is to be a wonderful father to my kids.

My sophomore year I placed 2nd, and my junior and senior year - I got smart and piled up enough points between myself and second place where I didn't have to run the mile.

I was a pitcher, shortstop and outfielder, and the Yankees tried to sign me out of high school as a first-round draft pick in 1981. I turned them down to go to college.

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.
