The only thing I ever wanted to be was a professional football player.

I don't know what I believe. I think there's a belief system, I'm just not sure what it is.

I think it's a feeling like I've got it all figured out. There's nothing that can shock me anymore. There's nothing I haven't anticipated; so at that point, there is a calmness.

That taught me how to work harder. I learned all about mental toughness on the practice field. If things weren't working out for me in high school, in college, early in my pro career, my solution was always to work harder and internalize. That way, whenever I got an opportunity, I was always prepared. See, there are a lot of guys who are all talk. They say they want to work harder and be the best, but they never pay the price. I love paying the price.

I certainly want a name that I can pronounce!

Mentally, the only players who survive in the pros are the ones able to manage all their responsibilities. Everybody struggles in different ways.
