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.

Don't run too fast through life. You only have one.

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.

Set your goals high, and don't stop till you get there.

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 am a firm believer in if you can't get it the old fashioned way, you don't need it.

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.
