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.
Bo Jackson
Image
I wanted to stay close enough so mom could see me play - where I could go home if I needed to.
Bo Jackson
Image
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.

Football is easy if you're crazy as hell.
Bo Jackson
Image
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.

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.

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.
Bo Jackson

Well, back when I was training, probably the only nutritious thing on the market was Gatorade - that's all that we knew.

Whenever I wasn't watching the planes, I was playing community baseball, football, or something like that.
Bo Jackson

Growing up as a kid, the back of my house faced a little community airport about four or five miles from my house.

Image
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).

Image
By doing that and being very competitive, the grown-ups started telling me even back before I started playing organized ball that I was too physical and too advanced for the kids my own age.

Don't plan to repent at the 11th hour - you may die at 10:30.

I've always played with kids that were five, six, seven years older than me.
