Bo Jackson
I love going out and doing new things.
Bo Jackson
I took a lot of things for granted - especially how I treated my body.
Bo Jackson
My sophomore year I placed 2nd, and my junior and senior year - I got smart and piled up enough points between myself and second place where I didn't have to run the mile.
Bo Jackson
I am a firm believer in if you can't get it the old fashioned way, you don't need it.
Bo Jackson
Don't plan to repent at the 11th hour - you may die at 10:30.
Bo Jackson
I hate to blow my own horn, but I gave a lot of people fits.
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
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
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
