Football really was my salvation in high school. For some kids it's art. For some it's music. For me, it was strapping on those pads, yanking that helmet over my head, and getting out there with the team.

Quit making excuses. What we're really talking about here is commitment. Until you make a commitment to your dream, it's not a commitment at all. It's just another fantasy. And fantasies don't come true because they're not real, we're not committed to them. When we make commitments, they become dreams. And dreams are very real.

When you have passion and commitment, you don't need a complex plan. Your plan is your life is your dream.

I have learned two things in my life: there is a God, and I am not him.

When you achieve one dream, dream another. Getting what you want is only a problem if you have nowhere to go next. Dreaming is a lifetime occupation.

I think God has a special way of putting things together when you do the right stuff even though you make a lot of mistakes, you learn something. You don't live by them you learn from them and you move on.

Do what you want, do what you need to get done. Find a way to do it.
