By doing that and being very competitive, the grown-ups started telling me even back before I started playing organized ball that I was too physical and too advanced for the kids my own age.

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 have been a fan all my life, but now I have been out of football for over 10 years, and out of baseball for a little over six years and I don't go to games.

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.

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.

The only thing I would change is during the summer - when I was working my summer job, if I was smart, I would have taken flying lessons at Auburn.

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