If you have four years to complete your college education, do it.
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.
Bo Jackson
Image
I have been a fan all my life, but now I have been out of football for over 10 years, and out of baseball for a little over six years and I don't go to games.
Bo Jackson
Image
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.
Bo Jackson
Image
I've always played with kids that were five, six, seven years older than me.
Bo Jackson
Image
I am a firm believer in if you can't get it the old fashioned way, you don't need it.
Bo Jackson

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

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'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.
Bo Jackson
Image
Set your goals high, and don't stop till you get there.
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.
Bo Jackson
Image
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
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
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.
Bo Jackson
Image
Football is easy if you're crazy as hell.
Bo Jackson
Image
I love going out and doing new things.
Bo Jackson
Image
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.
Bo Jackson
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.
Bo Jackson
Image
Back before I injured my hip, I thought going to the gym was for wimps.

I guarantee you that's what Jeff Gordon does. He uses everything the fans throw at him to stoke his fire and it drives him to be better at what he does.
