HERSCHEL WALKERIf you eat a chicken wing or a chicken tender in some parts of the country, I probably supplied it.
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 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 WALKERMy message is, you can accomplish anything, not just on the athletic field, if you’re willing to work pay the price. It doesn’t matter what your age.
HERSCHEL WALKERI had teachers who said I was not good enough. So, I said I will become good enough. So I became this guy who became obsessed to become good enough. Now I sit down and tell people who I was. Now, I say, ‘Do you know who I am?’
HERSCHEL WALKERWhen I feel good about myself, things start happening for myself. When you look up, you go up.
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 WALKEROne thing I’ve done in my life is train year-round to compete at anything, anything. I’ve got an invitation now to maybe be on the karate team for the Barcelona Olympics. I’m debating whether I want to do that. I just love to compete, and I want to win.
HERSCHEL WALKERIf you dedicate yourself to something, you can achieve it. It’s simple, but it’s true, and your age is just an excuse.
HERSCHEL WALKERSuccess is just being happy. And I try so many different things. I do a lot of different things. Because I think God has helped me to love myself. I know who God is, and I love God.
HERSCHEL WALKERMMA is my love.
HERSCHEL WALKERComing from a small town it was tough to dream big. When I grew up in a small town in Georgia, my biggest dream was one day to be able to go to Atlanta.
HERSCHEL WALKERGrowing up, I started developing confidence in what I felt. My parents helped me to believe in myself. I wasn’t the best looking guy, I wasn’t the best athlete in the world, but they made me feel good about myself.
HERSCHEL WALKERI never dreamed about being an actor, because that was out of reach. Coming from a small town that was big in farming, and also big in clothing factories, you don’t dream about being a professional football player or an actor.
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.
