Just being in the locker room as a young person growing up was something I've always enjoyed, without ever having it forced upon me.

When I grew up, and I've said this a lot, but I was a long time Oklahoma fan. I always followed them all the way while growing up in Ohio.

I'm especially thankful for being able to coach so many talented young men over my 18 years here. It has been so rewarding to see these players come to OU and mature over a four- or five-year career, and not just on the field. To play a small part in their growth is what I will always cherish the most.

I was an undersized, undertalented defensive back. I knocked myself out multiple times running into people. I ended my career without an anterior cruciate ligament. I still don't have one. At a certain point, you realize: I've used up all I've got.

It's not really about the competition. Your biggest challenge in a race is yourself. You're often racing against time. You're frequently running everything through your mind. You're always competing against preconceived ideas. It's not really the person next to you that you worry about.

I know the pressure of being Barcelona's goalkeeper, but I'm here to play my football and the football Barca want to play. I'm not afraid.

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.

Normally, the coach does not like to make changes that are not necessary - because a team has to find itself.
