The only people I know getting in high places by running their mouth are politicians.

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.

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.

It's all about the attitude, gut, heart and determination to go out and give 120% every time to try and help the team win.

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.

Whenever I wasn't watching the planes, I was playing community baseball, football, or something like that.

So, I got a lot of recruitment letters from track.
