I wanted to be a professional athlete. Young men and women from Montana don't make it to the professional level that often. And I always believed that because I was a great football player that made me better than you. And that's not the case at all.

When you're talking to potential professional athletes, I really like to talk about the fact that even though you're a great athlete, that doesn't make you a good person. And if you can build that foundation first, everything else usually follows suit.

Everybody's got some things that have happened bad in their past. Mine was just very public.

A lot of times people say they want a fresh start, but you can't really have a fresh start because it doesn't happen that way.

Each great athlete must some day bow to that perennial old champion, Father Time, even as I, for Time eventually wins.

I am very happy that Indian women are making their mark in sports be is Sakshi Malik or even PV Sindhu who also won a medal for the country. We talk about women empowerment and there cannot be any bigger example than this.

I had never played a team sport when I was younger.

I get kids from all different cultures and nationalities coming up to me now, all wanting to be F1 drivers. They feel the sport is open to everyone.
