I always said I wanted to be a great athlete, ever since I was an overweight little kid. I just love competing in any kind of athletics.
HERSCHEL WALKERI always said I wanted to be a great athlete, ever since I was an overweight little kid. I just love competing in any kind of athletics.
HERSCHEL WALKERI wouldn’t change anything about my past, because it’s made me who I am today. You have to remember: You need to crack some eggs to make omelettes. And I did crack some eggs.
HERSCHEL WALKERMMA is my love.
HERSCHEL WALKERI was a fat little kid with a speech impediment. I used to get beat up, not just picked on.
HERSCHEL WALKERI’m just not a guy that loves to eat. I love to work and love to work out. I think I go against all the nutritionists who say you need to do this or need to do that, so I’m one of the oddballs.
HERSCHEL WALKERFootball, that’s just athletics. But in the business world – doing everything – people are competing. So you need good work ethics, and I think it helped me to develop good work ethics, being in a small town.
HERSCHEL WALKERI want to prove to people who sit on a couch and don’t do anything but criticize other people that, if you’re a true athlete or martial artist, you’re not old until you can’t get up and walk around anymore.
HERSCHEL WALKERAs a born-again Christian, I believe God actively and directly influences me to action.
HERSCHEL WALKERWhen I started out as a little kid, I didn’t say ‘I just want to run football.’ I wanted to be a great athlete.
HERSCHEL WALKERWe have the DNA of our Lord Jesus Christ.
HERSCHEL WALKEROur responsibility in life is not to lie around and wait for things to happen. Our responsibility in life is to work. Life is getting out and getting things done. When people say they’re over-the-hill at age 50, I don’t understand it.
HERSCHEL WALKERI don’t worry about protein. I don’t worry about all that. I’m from old school. I grew up in south Georgia. They didn’t worry about cholesterol or protein. They went out and worked and lived a long time, so I don’t put a lot of worries in my mind.
HERSCHEL WALKERI told my mom the reason I started working out was because I wanted to break the necks of the people picking on me. I wanted to hurt them. I said I didn’t want any teacher to put me down any more.
HERSCHEL WALKERThat person has to be accountable for himself. I think that’s what we have to do in society today is to be accountable for yourself. I think we have the tendency to always want to live someone else’s life.
HERSCHEL WALKERWhen I feel good about myself, things start happening for myself. When you look up, you go up.
HERSCHEL WALKERBecause my parents, growing up, they worked hard. Everyone in my family woke up early in the morning. I used to see my mother and my father go off to work, and come back and, no matter what, they had time for the kids.
