Troy Polamalu
Being patient ... and not becoming too stressed out over the big plays, those are the things to remember.
Troy Polamalu

I really enjoy surfing a lot. It's an awesome sport. With surfing there are no mind games versus Peyton Manning, or versus anyone else. It's not me trying to throw a certain shot put further - or to put a ball in a hoop, it's just me against mother nature.

The barefoot component of my training is about strengthening the toes.

My wife is Greek. I was a non-denomination Christian before we got married.
Troy Polamalu
I've never thought about the end of my career. I've had this growing motto in my life to live day to day - and when you live day to day, it's hard to talk years.
