Strive to be the very best you can be. Run the race against yourself and not the guy in the other lane. The reason I say that is, as long as you give it 110% you are going to succeed. But as long as you're trying to beat the guy over there, you are worried about him; you're not worrying about how you've got to perform.

As a born-again Christian, I believe God actively and directly influences me to action.

I was determined to make Renaissance Man Food Services and Herschel's Famous 34 major players in a very tough industry.

My favorite subject probably was math. I love math. I think figures just intrigue me. I was really good at math. English probably was my worst subject, but I used to write a lot of poetry. I used to write poetry all the time.

My message is, you can accomplish anything, not just on the athletic field, if you're willing to work pay the price. It doesn't matter what your age.

If you train hard, you'll not only be hard, you'll be hard to beat.

I never get tired of running. The ball ain't that heavy.
