Coming to Houston was an opportunity that I couldn't pass up.

I think one thing as far as my learning curve and what I'm learning - there is a time to take a sack, and then there is also a time to try to find a way to maybe throw the ball at a receiver's feet.

There's nothing that can replace learning on the field.

Through the learning experiences, I've been trying to eliminate mistakes. I don't want the same mistake to happen twice.

Because I am Olympic champion, everyone assumes I am this perfect athlete who should never lose. Every time I step in the ring, I am expected to win.

Football Beyond Borders is about learning, establishing new beliefs in an ability to succeed.

I love sports. I love being active. I love challenging myself. I was a jock growing up from the time I could walk.

I was a 6-foot-tall 13-year-old who couldn't play basketball. I moved around all the time as a kid, and at each new school, the coach would say, 'He's the great white hope' - but I couldn't play ball. So my thing was jokes and characters and making fun of myself and being the 6-foot-9 Jewish guy. That was my way into show business.
