Not a lot of people see that when you're growing up. You don't get to see that people really have to work hard to become as good as they are.

You get older, and you want to be a professional athlete; you want to win on the biggest stage.

Throughout my whole football career, I have always known I wasn't the fastest guy.

I had a lot of stats in college, and they didn't count for wins. So whatever it takes to win football games is the goal that I set.

I'm not really happy with my football career, but I can't complain about it, either.

I'm interested in current affairs and social policy as a whole, but I don't watch politics for sport.

Just because I have to deal with the stress and pressure and nerves of elite sport every day, it doesn't mean it all comes easily. I have worked hard at the mental side of my game.

I don't think there is anything wrong in earning money from the sport you love. If you work hard and get benefits from it, there is no harm. The day you feel that you are not working hard and are only looking at the benefits, that's where the problem is.
