I played mostly games like Asteroids and Pac-Man. Today, when I go into an arcade, the games are much more difficult and complex. I don't think I could even play some of the video games that are out there today.
So this is it. Match point for eternity.
When you're not practicing, someone somewhere is. And when the two of you meet, assuming roughly equal ability, the other person will win.
The towels were so thick there I could hardly close my suitcase.
I think that from the time you start playing sports as a child you see that your responsibility to your team is to play the best that you can play as an individual... and yet, not take anything away from being part of a team.
Sometimes in football you have to score goals.
The main challenge is technology and that's something I really push and work closely with Adidas on. They're real leaders in sports performance; always trying to push that further and further and get the best technology they can. That takes time and has rigorous testing, it's very laborious, but it's also very rewarding. You get to work with fantastic athletes, and that's a fantastic thing that has nothing to do with my day job in ready-to-wear.
The stats win nothing. I'm still sexy. I'm still great.
A bodybuilder is a sculptor who carries with him his own material.
Failure I can live with. Not trying is what I can't handle!
God lets everything happen for a reason. It's all a learning process, and you have to go from one level to another.
Literally falling on the ice and having to pick yourself up in front of thousands of people is not an easy thing to do. The thing that you learn is to pick yourself back up, to learn from your mistakes.
The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settled for.
Sometimes, when we train, we simply have to go out to meet the Man with the Hammer
Teammates are there for each other even after the noise of the crowd is gone.
Michigan State is always welcome at Ann Arbor. Your teams in all the various branches of athletics are more frequent visitors here than those of any other institution. This is as it should be, for not two universities are closer together in every way than Michigan State and Michigan.
With the game on the line. I want the ball in my hands.
The one thing I miss is hitchhiking. Now there's no more of that. When's the last time you saw a hitchhiker? It's not that I consider it a great sport, but it was my way of seeing the country. The open road, especially in the western United States, is still very pristine, but everything else around it has changed.
Competitive sports keep alive in us a spirit and vitality. Sports teach the strong to know when they are weak and the brave to face themselves when they are afraid; to be proud and unbowed in defeat, and yet humble and gentle in victory; to master ourselves before we attempt to master others; to learn to laugh, yet never forget how to weep; and to give the predominance of courage over timidity.
When you play test cricket, you don't give the Englishmen an inch. Play it tough, all the way. Grind them into the dust.
If you don't invest very much, then defeat doesn't hurt very much and winning is not very exciting.
I don't care what they say about me when I'm through with sports. I don't want to be known as anything else in life but a great father.
Oldtimers, weekends, and airplane landings are alike. If you can walk away from them, they're successful.
Gettin' good players is easy. Gettin' 'em to play together is the hard part.
Ever since that day when I was 11 years old, and I wasn't allowed in a photo because I wasn't wearing a tennis skirt, I knew that I wanted to change the sport.
