I was always more of an academic than a jock.

I never struggled with injury problems because of my preparation - in particular my stretching.

I didn't get an athletics scholarship at a major school.

I always got my work done before playing.

There are so many people afraid of a task. They get so overwhelmed by the obstacles in front of them that they shy away from reaching beyond a position of safety.

I went to Moorehouse College. There was no track and field there.

I wanted to go to medical school. But, I never got a college scholarship.
