I didn't want to become a reserve player, or a bench player, and it was time to move on and take on another challenge.

Right up until the time I retired at age 37, I felt like there were still things that I could do better.

One of the things in the back of my mind is that, after my sports experience, I never want to be, totally consumed by any one endeavor, other than my family life.

One of the most predictable things in life is there will be change. You are better off if you can have a say in the change. But you are ignorant or naive if you don't think there will be change, whether you want it to or not.

If you don't do what's best for your body, you're the one who comes up on the short end.

I liked the game, I enjoyed the game, and the game fed me enough, and gave me enough rewards to reinforce that this is something that I should spend time doing, and that I could possibly make a priority in my life, versus other sports.

Goals determine what you're going to be.
