People complain that pro athletes make a lot of money; but what they don't understand is that we need a lot of money because we spend a lot of money.
I have got better things to do in working with my athletes who I feel are going to be involved in 2012.
The decathlon takes so long to learn that people who are good athletes don't want to go back to the beginning again.
I am thrilled yet overwhelmed. There are so many great women athletes, some incredible performances.
Golf has humbled, humiliated, and just about licked all the great athletes who tried it.
My athletes always follow my advice. . . unless it conflicts with what that they want to do.
More than 10,000 athletes came to Atlanta seeking Olympic medals. Only a few of them will be lucky and skilled enough to claim one.
Dancers are both athletes and artists.
I would never encourage my children to be athletes - first because my children are not athletes and second because there are so many people pushing to get to the top in sports that 100 people are crushed for each one who breaks through. This is unfortunate.
Athletes have a certain stubbornness that carries us through and makes us do things that people say we can't do.
We are like highly trained athletes, who never run a race.
I'm not just retiring from the runway, I'm retiring from all modeling. God, I love saying that! When I was 18, my mom said I have to have a plan. I decided I'd leave on top. I want to be like the athletes who seem stuck in time. When you see them at 50, you say they probably can still run like a champ.
The reports of racial episodes are disturbing. But the players' protest is exhilarating because it is the most high-profile example to date in a continuing revolution in which the athletes who drive the multibillion-dollar college sports machine have begun to use their visibility to demand change.
There are a lot of great athletes who stop working out, and they get out of shape like everybody else in their 30s and 40s.
The left's obsession with the high incomes of corporate executives never seems to extend to equally high - or higher - incomes of professional athletes, entertainers, or best-selling authors like Danielle Steel.
The person closest to actually achieving this look is Kim Kardashian, who, as we know, was made by Russian scientists to sabotage our athletes. Everyone else is struggling.
The ancient Greeks kept women athletes out of their games. They wouldn't even let them on the sidelines. I'm not sure but that they were right.
I would advise all professional athletes to get involved and to try to help make a difference. We can make a huge impact. We can be that difference maker just because of our status and because of what we do. If we don't, who else will?
I'm just kind of really interested in athletes as artists of a pretty serious variety and people who devote themselves to what they do in a really incredible way.
The powers that be don’t want athletes or boxers to become as smart as they are.
