I was a general business major, which meant that in any business school and particularly at Smith School, which is a very good school, you do a lot of team projects. Well I was the guy who gave the presentations for the team projects.

My first real business was bootlegging T-shirts - I was just a dumb kid. You go to a concert and pay $25 for a cotton T-shirt that says 'Rolling Stones,' 'Lollapalooza,' or whatever. On the outside they're 10 or 15 bucks. We were the guys selling them for 10 or 15 bucks.

The sports apparel industry was dominated by the big shoe companies. But there was a void in apparel and I decided to fill it.

I'm a big advocate of the power of positive thinking, particularly for small businesses.

All we're trying to do is change how people think about fitness. And build Under Armour into the biggest brand in the entire land.

Motivation, passion, and focus have to come from the top.

My love of horses began in College Park, with me and 10 friends on two couches and a keg of beer in the back of a truck, heading to Pimlico at 6 A.M. to mark our place in the middle of the Preakness infield, where we never saw a horse run.
