Football develops, it becomes quicker, players develop as athletes.
In the seventies we had to make it acceptable for people to accept girls and women as athletes. We had to make it okay for them to be active. Those were much scarier times for females in sports.
I try to help my athletes visualize their full potential, and then get out of the way as they achieve it.
A lot of athletes have star quality, but they just can't perform in front of a camera. So no matter how good-looking you are, no matter what kind of presence you have, you still have to be able to be a convincing performer to become a star.
I want to keep coaching as long as I can. I love teaching and working with student athletes and I love being at the University of Tennessee.
All athletes would be better if they eat better. Junk in equals Junk out.
I think pro-athletes should be forced to use steroids. I think we as fans deserve the greatest athletes science can create! Lets go! Anything that will make you run faster, jump higher! I have High-Definition TV! I want my athletes like my video games! Lets go! I could care less if you die at 40. You hate life after sports anyways. I'm doing you a favor.
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.
I'm in the perfect position. It's a sports position and a political position where I can help better the lives of athletes around the world.
We have become more and more not a nation of athletes but a nation of spectators.
I'm an athlete, my job is not negotiating, it's not my field of expertise. I'm an emotional guy - it's normal, a lot of athletes are, and we're very susceptible to get our ego cut because of that.
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?
It is essential that we put an end to steroid abuse and set a better example for aspiring young athletes to follow, so that some day, when they make it in the All Star Game, it will be because of their own natural talents, and not because of a performance enhancing product.
We're the greatest athletes in the world without a doubt.
Athletes are extremists. When they're training, it's laser focus.
Concentration is why some athletes are better than others. You develop that concentration in training and concentrate in a meet.
When you're young, you develop ways to win, and you think they will always work, but then you get to the top, competing against the other top athletes, and sometimes things don't work.
I have got better things to do in working with my athletes who I feel are going to be involved in 2012.
I don't think there are really enough meetings in Britain for our athletes to compete properly, and because of this a lot of the talent we have has been stunted.
Athletes try to get other athletes out and they should have no false starts.
