I was the type of guy that used to get up in the morning and go out and just out run everybody on the field without stretching or warming up or anything.

But now, I get up every morning and go to the gym because I don't like waking up stiff or in pain and wondering if my hip is going to hurt me.

If my mother put on a helmet and shoulder pads and a uniform that wasn't the same as the one I was wearing, I'd run over her if she was in my way. And I love my mother.

I'll never worry about not being successful. I'll just take it one day at a time, one season at a time. And play as hard as I can.

I was always an Alabama fan growing up, but when the Alabama recruiter told me I would probably not be able to play until the end of my sophomore year, or the beginning of my junior year.

I struck out with two men on base. I was so angry, so frustrated, I turned and without even thinking about it, snapped my bat over my thigh. The bat split right in half. Afterward, reporters asked me if it was the first time I'd ever broken a bat over my thigh. I broke an aluminum bat over my knee in college, I said. (I was just kidding).

I hate to blow my own horn, but I gave a lot of people fits.

I've taken up golf in the past five or six years, and most of the time there aren't too many people out there that can drive a ball further than I can.
Bo Jackson
Image
I was always the fastest and strongest kid in my school so events like the 100 meter and discus throwing attracted me. I could throw the discus for great distance s without the proper spin and throw technique.

My favorite driver is always either the bad guy or the underdog.

The first game was against Wake Forrest - I'll never forget that game.
Bo Jackson
Image
I took a lot of things for granted - especially how I treated my body.
Bo Jackson
Image
My confidence and drive to go play came when I realized how gifted I was at such a young age and how much bigger my build was than the kids my age.

Image
I'm the type of person, I cross the bridges once I get to 'em. I don't try to plan my life three, four months in advance, because you don't know if tomorrow's promised to you.

But now in this day and age, people are more prone to go out to try new things to enhance their performance on the field - to enhance their physical appearance.

You practice Monday through Friday in college, or Monday through Saturday in the pro's - and then you just go out and knock somebody's head off.

I have no problem with my hips - I can still do the things that I used to do. I can run, I'm just not the fastest person on the field anymore.
