Just let me do what I'm doing, and then when all of this is up, then you can say how my career was. Don't try to sum up my career in one or two seasons. Let me finish it first.

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).

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

The way strength and conditioning has helped me now is that I make it a point to go to the gym everyday if I can.
