The only thing I would change is during the summer - when I was working my summer job, if I was smart, I would have taken flying lessons at Auburn.

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.

I also tell them that your education can take you way farther than a football, baseball, track, or basketball will - that's just the bottom line.

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

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 love going out and doing new things.

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

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.

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

Back before I injured my hip, I thought going to the gym was for wimps.
