I hate being out there with those garbage men. They don't get you the ball.

The reason I became such a successful athlete was my mind was saying that no matter who you put up against me, I am better, I am the best.

When I got cut from the varsity team as a sophomore in high school, I learned something. I knew I never wanted to feel that bad again. I never wanted to have that taste in my mouth, that hole in my stomach. So I set a goal of becoming a starter on the varsity.

Just play. Have fun. Enjoy the game.

It is nerve-wracking watching my kids' games.

I hope the millions of people I've touched have the optimism and desire to share their goals and hard work and persevere with a positive attitude.

I know the signs of scaredness.
