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

I taught myself how to pole vault in one day. The next day I entered a meet to pole vault and won it all for the state of Alabama.

My confidence and drive to go play came when I realized how gifted I was at such a young age and how much bigger my build was than the kids my age.

It occurred to me in my junior year of high school. I got my first letter from a big college. I still have that letter to this day - a letter from Indiana.

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 think everyone would love to see Jeff Gordon lose or get run into the wall, but I think he uses that - similar to me.

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.
