I struck out with two men on base. I was so angry, so frustrated, I turned and without even thinking about it, snapped my bat over my thigh. The bat split right in half. Afterward, reporters asked me if it was the first time I'd ever broken a bat over my thigh. "I broke an aluminum bat over my knee in college," I said. (I was just kidding).

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.

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 grew up in a tough neighborhood where a lot of kids were older than me. The older kids decided to pick me on me starting when I was about 6 and it didn't take me long to take a stand for myself.

The way strength and conditioning has helped me now is that I make it a point to go to the gym everyday if I can.

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

I was always active - I went from baseball to football. I didn't have time to work out.
