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.

I love going out and doing new things.

I guarantee you that's what Jeff Gordon does. He uses everything the fans throw at him to stoke his fire and it drives him to be better at what he does.

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'm the type of person, I cross the bridges once I get to 'em. I don't try to plan my life three, four months in advance, because you don't know if tomorrow's promised to you.

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.

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.
