Don't sell yourself short because without that you can't go far in life because after sports the only thing you know is sports and you can't do anything else with that.
Bo Jackson
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
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.
Bo Jackson
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.
