If we could sell our experiences for what they cost us, we'd all be millionaires.
I think the biggest thing for all athletes is recovery - being able to bounce back from week to week, practice to practice, to come back in top form.
When success finds you, it's because you were looking for it.
Guys respect other guys who get it done on the field, play through adversity, and come through when it matters most.
You can lead in multiple ways. I try and lead by example, and make sure that I'm always accountable to my teammates. That starts off with my commitment to waking up early, training hard, lifting weights, and running. It's in my nutrition. It's just making sure I always put myself in the best possible position.
I do what I'm coached to do. That's part of being a team leader and captain. The job will change week in and week out, and it's not for you to question what your job is - it's to go out there and execute your assignments.
I believe in goal-setting. I don't care what it is. If you want to drop 10 pounds, increase your bench press, jump higher, or win a Super Bowl, you have to set that goal for yourself before you go out and achieve it. I think you have to regulate it, and see how you're building toward it every single day. Am I getting closer to that ultimate goal? Am I doing everything I possibly can today to be successful? I'm always very cognitive of my goals.
Stopping me? That's impossible. There's not anything that can really stop me.
When you look at Harlem - and I lived there almost five years - most of the people who live in Harlem are transplants. They migrate to Harlem from another place. A lot of them are from the south, so they bring those southern influences with them.
We do not quite forgive a giver. The hand that feeds us is in some danger of being bitten.
It's true. Happiness is a big thing.
