Athletes as role models and heroes is a hoax, a sick hoax. The men and women who are fighting in Iraq, they are the true heroes.
Gale Sayers
Image
Athletes have to be confident and I am thinking like that.
Haile Gebrselassie
Image
Athletes have studied how to leap and how to survive the leap some of the time and return to the ground. They don't always do it well. But they are our philosophers of actual moments and the body and soul in them, and of our maneuvers in our emergencies and longings.
Harold Brodkey
Image
Athletes know kids look up to them, and it's important for athletes to be responsible.
Deion Sanders
Image
Athletes who are able to stay completely focused in pursuit of their dreams are the ones that are most likely to become champions.

Athletes, coaches and parents today are increasingly aware of the danger of concussion, and this awareness influences decisions about buying new and reconditioned football helmets.
Tom Udall
Image
Athletes have a certain stubbornness that carries us through and makes us do things that people say we can't do.
Kim Clijsters
Image
Athletes are American princes and the locker room is their castle. Some of them behave in princely fashion, become legitimate heroes to us all. And some are jerks.
Anna Quindlen
Image
Athletes and actors do really crazy things and we do them under weird circumstances because we love what we do and because we take things in an extreme manner.
Anika Noni Rose

Athletes often start life at the opposite end of the wealth and prestige spectrum, but as soon as they exhibit an unusual talent for swinging a bat or sinking a free-throw they may find that the rules have been suspended for them. They are waved through school and into the pros, and incidents of bad behavior are overlooked or covered up.
Jeffrey Kluger

Athletes who take to the classroom naturally or are encouraged to focus on grades should be able to do well in the classroom. I believe the reason you go to college is to get your degree. It's not a minor league or an audition for the pros
Rebecca Lobo

Athletes at all ages are bigger and stronger than ever before. And they are being encouraged - sometimes even incentivized, as we recently learned was the case on at least one National Football League team - to play to injure.
Naveen Jain
Image
Athletes become our heroes, because they're superhuman. They do things nobody else can do. They're better than 6 billion other people.
Charlie Sheen
Image
Athletes that can't listen, can condition.
Chuck Daly
Image
Athletes these days are too robotic. People like to see performances filled with emotion. In my career I tried to be amusing, to differentiate myself from the other champions.
Daley Thompson
Image
Athletes don't have much use for poking around in their childhoods, because, introspection doesn't get you anywhere in a race.
Lance Armstrong
Image
Athletes and musicians make astronomical amounts of money. People get paid $100 million to throw a baseball! Shouldn't we all take less and pass some of that money onto others? Think about firefighters, teachers and policemen. We should celebrate people that are intellectually smart and trying to make this world a better place.
Kid Rock

We professional athletes are very lucky. Unlike most mortals, we are given the privilege of dying twice - once when we retire and again when death takes us.
John McNally

As women professional athletes, you have to have respect for every player and individual. Beyond that, it doesn't matter what your interests are. People can have their own lives.
Hope Solo

Professional football's a tough game. It's a lot of contact. It's a lot of wear and tear on your body. You've got elite athletes running into each other, play after play, at high speeds. And this is something that I love and I enjoy.

When I first started out, I was considered a crackpot. The doctors used to say, Don't go to that Jack LaLanne, you'll get hemorrhoids, you won't get an erection, you women will look like men, you athletes will get muscle-bound -- this is what I had to go through.
Jack LaLanne
Image
Extraordinary people are the Green Berets and the Navy Seals and the Olympic athletes - these are the ones who can face these extraordinary physical challenges and be triumphant.
Jonathan Demme
Image
All athletes would be better if they eat better. Junk in equals Junk out.
Jack LaLanne
Image
It was so much fun being in the Olympic Village and meeting all the athletes.
