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.

Back before I injured my hip, I thought going to the gym was for wimps.
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
Image
I love going out and doing new things.
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
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
Whenever I wasn't watching the planes, I was playing community baseball, football, or something like that.
