Don't run too fast through life. You only have one.

I'm the type of person, I cross the bridges once I get to 'em. I don't try to plan my life three, four months in advance, because you don't know if tomorrow's promised to you.

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.

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 love going out and doing new things.

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.

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.

Image
Set your goals high, and don't stop till you get there.
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.

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

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.

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