To have a platform to make a difference ultimately, which is what I want to do with my life, we've got to win football games. When you're highly paid and your losing, no one really cares what you have to say.
I've won the African Cup, I've won an Olympic gold medal. That says everything.
I never gave up as a player, and I won't give up as someone who wants to go to the Hall of Fame, because it's the ultimate goal for a baseball player or a football player or a basketball player.
I wanted to go somewhere and make a name for myself. I wanted to go somewhere and establish a winning culture because everybody knows about the football team. So I wanted to change the culture and make it both basketball as well as football and just give the fans what they want in Tuscaloosa.
Clean living is the cardinal principle in the lives of the world's greatest athletes, as the phenomenal performances of these outstanding characters will obviously show.
We know Manchester United's history and the fact the club is known for winning trophies.
A player cannot rely only on his name to make a difference but also has to work hard and make things happen on the pitch.
It was always a dream to play Test for India, and I was very happy when I got my first wicket.
When Manchester United play with the right spirit, nobody can beat us.
To have the opportunity to work with Tiger Woods was just so awesome. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed the challenge. I enjoyed the good parts where he was winning. And I enjoyed the challenge to help him get better. But six years was enough.
I never told my parents that I was doing boxing. They only came to know after I became state champion and my name and picture came in the newspaper.
My father's encouragement is what has brought me this far, because when I grew up I wanted to be like him, and I knew I had that ability to become an athlete. Being an Olympian is one of the greatest things, and being an Olympic gold medallist is one of the most prestigious titles in the world.
It's a dream come true to be part of an NHL team, to be a regular in the NHL, to live the life, to make the money and do all that stuff.
Personal honors never meant much to Bill Russell, one of America's most successful athletes with 2 college titles, 1 Olympic gold medal and 11 - count 'em, 11 - N.B.A. championships with the Boston Celtics.
Hopefully, I can keep scoring more goals, make more assists, break more records and help my team, which is the most important thing.
You can never know if there will be a second Cruyff, someone with a great personality who can grow up and make it into the squad of the club they love. But what is certain is that, in the Champions League, there will be big clubs producing these players forever.
I have been very blessed to be given the opportunity to play for Super Eagles.
Growing up, watching the Premier League as far back as I can remember, feeling the trophy and having the medal around my neck was an unbelievable feeling.
Although I have never won a major trophy, I consider myself a winner because I helped Fiorentina to compete with the big boys.
I never played any games like this in Germany, not when you have to fight for 90 minutes. But if I want to be successful in England, I have to get used to it.
You can't have enough good football players.
I felt I bowled well for Barbados, and that helped me.
To play 18 years as a pro and have a great college career, it's awesome.
That's my main goal: to win a world championship.
I went to state in track, won the girls' city championship, and did well in volleyball. I was a varsity cheerleader. So you know, shoot, I've got a couple of letters and things! Last I counted, I think there were eight in my mama's house.
